Detailed Description

This class is the base class for the hierarchy of exceptions in the Essential Tools Module. (See the section on error reporting and handling in the Essential Tools Module User's Guide.) Although the entire class is documented here, your code usually should not create or directly throw RWxmsg objects. Instead, you should expect to write code that may catch an RWxmsg or one of its derived classes.

RWxmsg provides a basic interface for exceptions, from which an exception string is always available. This exception string is obtained through the why() method, and is represented as a const char*, single-byte character sequence.

Synopsis
#include <rw/rwerr.h>
RWxmsg x("exception message");
Persistence
None

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RWxmsg::RWxmsg ( const char *  msg)

Creates an exception that returns msg when its why() method is called.

RWxmsg::RWxmsg ( const RWxmsg msg)

Copy constructor.

RWxmsg::RWxmsg ( RWxmsg &&  msg)

Move constructor. The constructed instance takes ownership of the data owned by msg.

Condition:
This method is available only on platforms with rvalue reference support.
RWxmsg::RWxmsg ( const char *  msg,
bool  doCopy 
)
protected

Creates an exception that returns msg when its why() method is called. If doCopy is true, copies msg into a new buffer on the heap, otherwise simply keeps a pointer to the given location of msg.

Member Function Documentation

RWxmsg& RWxmsg::operator= ( const RWxmsg )

Assignment operator.

RWxmsg& RWxmsg::operator= ( RWxmsg &&  msg)

Move assignment. Self takes ownership of the data owned by msg.

Condition:
This method is available only on platforms with rvalue reference support.
virtual void RWxmsg::raise ( ) const
virtual
void RWxmsg::swap ( RWxmsg rhs)

Swaps the data owned by self with the data owned by rhs.

virtual const char* RWxmsg::why ( ) const
virtual

Returns the message string contained in self.
