std::bad_function_call::bad_function_call

bad_function_call() noexcept; (1) (since C++11)
bad_function_call( const bad_function_call& other ) noexcept; (2) (since C++11)

Constructs a new bad_function_call object with an implementation-defined null-terminated byte string which is accessible through what().

  1. Default constructor.

  2. Copy constructor. If *this and other both have dynamic type std::bad_function_call then std::strcmp(what(), other.what()) == 0.

Parameters

other - another exception object to copy

std::bad_function_call::operator=

| bad_function_call& operator=( const bad_function_call& other ) noexcept; | | (since C++11) | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ------------- |

Assigns the contents with those of other. If *this and other both have dynamic type std::bad_function_call then std::strcmp(what(), other.what()) == 0 after assignment.

Parameters

other - another exception object to assign with

Return value

*this

std::bad_function_call::what

| virtual const char* what() const noexcept; | | (since C++11) | | ------------------------------------------- | | ------------- |

Returns the explanatory string.

Return value

Pointer to an implementation-defined null-terminated string with explanatory information. The string is suitable for conversion and display as a std::wstring. The pointer is guaranteed to be valid at least until the exception object from which it is obtained is destroyed, or until a non-const member function (e.g. copy assignment operator) on the exception object is called.

Notes

Implementations are allowed but not required to override what().
