is_error_code_enum <std::io_errc>
(C++11)
Defined in header <ios>
template <>
struct is_error_code_enum < std:: io_errc > : public std:: true_type { } ;
(since C++11)

This specialization of std::is_error_code_enum informs other library components that values of type std::io_errc are enumerations that hold error codes, which makes them implicitly convertible and assignable to objects of type std::error_code .

Inherited from std:: integral_constant

Member constants

value
[static]
true
(public static member constant)

Member functions

operator bool
converts the object to bool , returns value
(public member function)
operator()
(C++14)
returns value
(public member function)

Member types

Type Definition
value_type bool
type std:: integral_constant < bool , value >

Example

The comparison between e. code ( ) and std::io_errc::stream compiles because std:: is_error_code_enum < std:: io_errc > :: value == true .

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    std::ifstream f("doesn't exist");
    try
    {
        f.exceptions(f.failbit);
    }
    catch (const std::ios_base::failure& e)
    {
        std::cout << "Caught an ios_base::failure.\n";
        if (e.code() == std::io_errc::stream)
            std::cout << "The error code is std::io_errc::stream\n";
    }
}

Output:

Caught an ios_base::failure.
The error code is std::io_errc::stream
