[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <fstream> int main() { std::ifstream f("doesn't exist"); try { f.exceptions(f.failbit); } catch (const std::ios_base::failure& e) { std::cout << "Caught an ios_base::failure.\n" << "Explanatory string: " << e.what() << '\n' << "Error code: " << e.code() << '\n'; } }
Output:
Caught an ios_base::failure. Explanatory string: ios_base::clear: unspecified iostream_category error Error code: iostream:1
