std:: throw_with_nested

If std:: decay < T > :: type is a non-final non-union class type that is neither std::nested_exception nor derived from std::nested_exception , throws an exception of an unspecified type that is publicly derived from both std::nested_exception and from std:: decay < T > :: type , and constructed from std:: forward < T > ( t ) . The default constructor of the nested_exception base class calls std::current_exception , capturing the currently handled exception object, if any, in a std::exception_ptr .

Otherwise, throws std:: forward < T > ( t ) .

Requires that std:: decay < T > :: type is CopyConstructible .

Example

#include <exception>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <string>
 
// prints the explanatory string of an exception. If the exception is nested,
// recurses to print the explanatory of the exception it holds
void print_exception(const std::exception& e, int level =  0)
{
    std::cerr << std::string(level, ' ') << "exception: " << e.what() << '\n';
    try
    {
        std::rethrow_if_nested(e);
    }
    catch (const std::exception& nestedException)
    {
        print_exception(nestedException, level + 1);
    }
    catch (...) {}
}
 
// sample function that catches an exception and wraps it in a nested exception
void open_file(const std::string& s)
{
    try
    {
        std::ifstream file(s);
        file.exceptions(std::ios_base::failbit);
    }
    catch (...)
    {
        std::throw_with_nested(std::runtime_error("Couldn't open " + s));
    }
}
 
// sample function that catches an exception and wraps it in a nested exception
void run()
{
    try
    {
        open_file("nonexistent.file");
    }
    catch (...)
    {
        std::throw_with_nested(std::runtime_error("run() failed"));
    }
}
 
// runs the sample function above and prints the caught exception
int main()
{
    try
    {
        run();
    }
    catch (const std::exception& e)
    {
        print_exception(e);
    }
}

exception: run() failed
 exception: Couldn't open nonexistent.file
  exception: basic_ios::clear
