bad_alignment Class Reference

Detailed Description

The exception class thrown when the alignment exceeds the supported maximum, i.e.

it is bigger than max_alignment(). It is derived from bad_allocation_size but does not override the handler.

Typedefs

handler

using handler

inherited

The type of the handler called in the constructor of bad_allocation_size.

When a bad allocation size is detected and the exception object created, this handler gets called. It is especially useful if exception support is disabled. It gets the allocator_info, the size passed to the function and the supported size (the latter is still an upper bound).

Required Behavior:

It can log the error, throw a different exception derived from std::bad_alloc or abort the program. If it returns, this exception object will be created and thrown.

Default Behavior:

On a hosted implementation it logs the error on stderr and continues execution, leading to this exception being thrown. On a freestanding implementation it does nothing.

Constructors

bad_alignment()

bad_alignment	(	const allocator_info &	info,
		std::size_t	passed,
		std::size_t	supported )

Effects:

Just forwards to bad_allocation_size. passed is count * size, supported the size in bytes.

Member Functions

what()

const char * what ( ) const

overridenoexcept

Returns:

A static NTBS that describes the error. It does not contain any specific information since there is no memory for formatting.

set_handler()

static handler set_handler ( handler h )

staticinherited

Effects:

Sets h as the new handler in an atomic operation. A nullptr sets the default handler.

Returns:

The previous handler. This is never nullptr.

get_handler()

static handler get_handler ( )

staticinherited

Returns:

The current handler. This is never nullptr.

allocator()

const allocator_info & allocator ( ) const

noexceptinherited

Returns:

The allocator_info passed to it in the constructor.

passed_value()

std::size_t passed_value ( ) const

noexceptinherited

Returns:

The size or alignment value that was passed to the allocation function which was too big. This is the same value passed to the constructor.

supported_value()

std::size_t supported_value ( ) const

noexceptinherited

Returns:

An upper bound on the maximum supported size/alignment. It is only an upper bound, values below can fail, but values above will always fail.
