std::bad_optional_access:: bad_optional_access

bad_optional_access ( ) noexcept ;
(1) (since C++17)
bad_optional_access ( const bad_optional_access & other ) noexcept ;
(2) (since C++17)

Constructs a new bad_optional_access object with an implementation-defined null-terminated byte string which is accessible through what() .

1) Default constructor.
2) Copy constructor. If * this and other both have dynamic type std::bad_optional_access then std:: strcmp ( what ( ) , other. what ( ) ) == 0 .

Parameters

other - another exception object to copy

std::bad_optional_access:: operator=

bad_optional_access & operator = ( const bad_optional_access & other ) noexcept ;
(since C++17)

Assigns the contents with those of other . If * this and other both have dynamic type std::bad_optional_access then std:: strcmp ( what ( ) , other. what ( ) ) == 0 after assignment.

Parameters

other - another exception object to assign with

Return value

* this

std::bad_optional_access:: what

virtual const char * what ( ) const noexcept ;
(since C++17)

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.

The returned string is encoded with the ordinary literal encoding during constant evaluation.

(since C++26)

Notes

Implementations are allowed but not required to override what() .
