C++ get description of an exception caught in catch(…) block

Question

can I get description of an exception caught by

catch(...)

block? something like .what() of std::exception.

Answer 1

How we have our exceptions implemented is that, we have our own Exception classes, that are all derived from std::exception..

Our exceptions will contain Exception message, Function name, File name and line where exceptions are generated. These are all useful not just to show the Messages but also can be used for logging which helps to diagnose the Exception quite easily. So, we get the entire information about the Exceptions generated.

Remember exceptions are for us to get information about what went wrong. So, every bit of information helps in this regard..
