30 </div><h4>Requirements:
</h4>
31 <p>The
<span class=
"RenoLink">current_exception
</span> function must not be called outside of a catch block.
</p>
32 <p>In addition, to safely copy an exception from one thread to another, if the exception object is copied by
<span class=
"RenoLink">current_exception
</span> or
<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"copy_exception.html">copy_exception
</a></span>, the two copies must not have shared state. Exceptions that have value-type semantics (as well as the boost::
<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"exception.html">exception
</a></span> type itself) satisfy this requirement.
</p>
34 <div><ul><li> An
<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"exception_ptr.html">exception_ptr
</a></span> that refers to the currently handled exception or a copy of the currently handled exception.
</li>
35 <li> If the function needs to allocate memory and the attempt fails, it returns an
<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"exception_ptr.html">exception_ptr
</a></span> that refers to an instance of std::bad_alloc.
</li>
40 <div><ul><li> It is unspecified whether the return values of two successive calls to
<span class=
"RenoLink">current_exception
</span> refer to the same exception object.
</li>
41 <li> Correct implementation of
<span class=
"RenoLink">current_exception
</span> may require compiler support, unless
<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"enable_current_exception.html">enable_current_exception
</a></span> was used at the time the currently handled exception object was passed to throw. Whenever
<span class=
"RenoLink">current_exception
</span> fails to properly copy the current exception object, it returns an
<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"exception_ptr.html">exception_ptr
</a></span> to an object of type that is as close as possible to the original exception type, using
<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"unknown_exception.html">unknown_exception
</a></span> as a final fallback. All such types derive from boost::
<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"exception.html">exception
</a></span>, and:
<div><ul><li> if the original exception object derives from boost::
<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"exception.html">exception
</a></span>, then the boost::
<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"exception.html">exception
</a></span> sub-object of the object referred to by the returned
<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"exception_ptr.html">exception_ptr
</a></span> is initialized by the boost::
<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"exception.html">exception
</a></span> copy constructor;
</li>
42 <li> if available, the exception contains the std::type_info of the original exception object, accessible through
<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"get_error_info.html">get_error_info
</a></span><<span class=
"RenoLink"><a href=
"original_exception_type.html">original_exception_type
</a></span>>.
