17 Language support library [support] (original) (raw)

17.9 Exception handling [support.exception]

17.9.5 Abnormal termination [exception.terminate]

17.9.5.4 terminate [terminate]

[[noreturn]] void terminate() noexcept;

Effects: Calls a terminate_­handler function.

It is unspecified whichterminate_­handler function will be called if an exception is active during a call to set_­terminate.

Otherwise calls the current terminate_­handler function.

[Note 1:

A default terminate_­handler is always considered a callable handler in this context.

— _end note_]

Remarks: Called by the implementation when exception handling must be abandoned for any of several reasons ([except.terminate]).

May also be called directly by the program.
