hicpp-exception-baseclass¶
Ensure that every value that in a throw expression is an instance of std::exception.
This enforces rule 15.1 of the High Integrity C++ Coding Standard.
class custom_exception {};
void throwing() noexcept(false) {
// Problematic throw expressions.
throw int(42);
throw custom_exception();
}
class mathematical_error : public std::exception {};
void throwing2() noexcept(false) {
// These kind of throws are ok.
throw mathematical_error();
throw std::runtime_error();
throw std::exception();
}
