What does throw; (with no exception object after the throw , C/C++ Programming

Assignment Help:

What does throw; (with no exception object after the throw keyword) mean? Where would

I employ it?

A: You should see code that looks something like this:

class MyException {

public:

...

void addInfo(const std::string& info);

...

};

 

void f()

{

try {

...

}

catch (MyException& e) { e.addInfo("f() failed"); throw;

}

}

In this instance, the statement throws; refer to "re-throw the current exception." At this time, a function caught exception (through non-const reference), modified the exception (through adding up information to it), and re-threw the exception then. This idiom can be used to implement a simple form of stack- trace, adding suitable catch clauses in the important functions of your program.

Another re-throwing idiom is "exception dispatcher":

void handleException()

{

try {

throw;

}

catch (MyException& e) {

...code to handle MyException...

}

catch (YourException& e) {

...code to handle YourException...

}

}

void f()

{

try {

...something that might throw...

}

catch (...) {

handleException();

}

}

This idiom let a single function (handleException()) to be re-used to handle exceptions in number of other functions.
