Notes
This section is incomplete Reason: discuss LWG2349 and link from ios_base::clear, and from (un)formatted(i/o)utputfunction requirement pages (or perhaps the behavior should be fully elaborated on the requirement pages and linked from here). See also stackoverflow.com/a/35089910 |
Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <fstream> int main() { int ivalue; try { std::ifstream in("in.txt"); in.exceptions(std::ifstream::failbit); // may throw in >> ivalue; // may throw } catch (const std::ios_base::failure& fail) { // handle exception here std::cout << fail.what() << '\n'; } }
Possible output:
basic_ios::clear: iostream error
