# std::exception::exception

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | error‎ | exception

| (1) |
exception() throw(); |  | (until C++11)
exception() noexcept; |  | (since C++11)
| (2) |
exception( const exception& other ) throw(); |  | (until C++11)
exception( const exception& other ) noexcept; |  | (since C++11)

Constructs new exception object.

1) Default constructor. `what()` returns an implementation-defined string.
2) Copy constructor. Initializes the contents with those of `other`. If `*this` and `other` both have dynamic type `std::exception` then std::strcmp(what(), other.what()) == 0. (since C++11)

### Parameters

other | - | another exception to assign the contents of

### Notes

Because copying `std::exception` is not permitted to throw exceptions, when derived classes (such as std::runtime_error) have to manage a user-defined diagnostic message, it is typically implemented as a copy-on-write string.
