std::invalid_argument(3) | C++ Standard Libary | std::invalid_argument(3) |
NAME¶
std::invalid_argument - std::invalid_argument
Synopsis¶
Defined in header <stdexcept>
class invalid_argument;
Defines a type of object to be thrown as exception. It reports errors that
arise
because an argument value has not been accepted.
This exception is thrown by std::bitset::bitset, and the std::stoi and
std::stof
families of functions.

Member functions¶
constructor constructs a new invalid_argument object with the
given message
(public member function)
operator= replaces the invalid_argument object
(public member function)
what returns the explanatory string
(public member function)
std::invalid_argument::invalid_argument
invalid_argument( const std::string& what_arg ); (1)
invalid_argument( const char* what_arg ); (2) (since C++11)
invalid_argument( const invalid_argument& other ); (until C++11)
invalid_argument( const invalid_argument& other ) (3) (since
C++11)
noexcept;
1-2) Constructs the exception object with what_arg as explanatory string that
can be
accessed through what().
3) Copy constructor.
If *this and other both have dynamic type std::invalid_argument then
std::strcmp(what(), other.what()) == 0.
(since C++11)
Parameters¶
what_arg - explanatory string
other - another exception object to copy
Exceptions¶
1-2) May throw std::bad_alloc
Notes¶
Because copying std::invalid_argument is not permitted to throw
exceptions, this
message is typically stored internally as a separately-allocated
reference-counted
string. This is also why there is no constructor taking
std::string&&: it would have
to copy the content anyway.
std::invalid_argument::operator=
invalid_argument& operator=( const invalid_argument& other );
(until C++11)
invalid_argument& operator=( const invalid_argument& other )
(since C++11)
noexcept;
Assigns the contents with those of other.
If *this and other both have dynamic type std::invalid_argument then
std::strcmp(what(), other.what()) == 0 after assignment.
(since C++11)
Parameters¶
other - another exception object to assign with
Return value¶
*this
std::invalid_argument::what
virtual const char* what() const throw(); (until C++11)
virtual const char* what() const noexcept; (since C++11)
Returns the explanatory string.
Parameters¶
(none)
Return value¶
Pointer to a 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().
Inherited from std::logic_error
Inherited from std::exception
Member functions¶
destructor destroys the exception object
[virtual] (virtual public member function of std::exception)
what returns an explanatory string
[virtual] (virtual public member function of
std::exception)
Notes¶
The purpose of this exception type is similar to the error
condition
std::errc::invalid_argument (thrown in std::system_error from member
functions of
std::thread) and the related errno constant EINVAL.
Example¶
// Run this code
#include <bitset>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <string>
int main()
{
try {
std::bitset<4>{"012"}; // Throws: only '0' or '1' expected
} catch (std::invalid_argument const& ex) {
std::cout << "#1: " << ex.what() << '\n';
}
try {
[[maybe_unused]] int f = std::stoi("ABBA"); // Throws: no
conversion
} catch (std::invalid_argument const& ex) {
std::cout << "#2: " << ex.what() << '\n';
}
try {
[[maybe_unused]] float f = std::stof("(3.14)"); // Throws: no
conversion
} catch (std::invalid_argument const& ex) {
std::cout << "#3: " << ex.what() << '\n';
}
}
Possible output:¶
#1: bitset string ctor has invalid argument
#2: stoi: no conversion
#3: stof: no conversion
