std::bad_exception(3)

NAME
std::bad_exception - std::bad_exception

Synopsis
   Defined in header <exception>
   class bad_exception;
   std::bad_exception is the type of the exception thrown by the C++ runtime in the
   following situations:
     * If std::exception_ptr stores a copy of the caught exception and if
       the copy constructor of the exception object caught by (since C++11)
       std::current_exception throws an exception, the captured exception
       is an instance of std::bad_exception.
     * If a dynamic exception specification is violated and
       std::unexpected throws or rethrows an exception that still
       violates the exception specification, but the exception (until C++17)
       specification allows std::bad_exception, std::bad_exception is
       thrown.

Member functions
   constructor constructs the bad_exception object
                 (public member function)
   operator= copies the object
                 (public member function)
   what returns the explanatory string
   [virtual] (virtual public member function) Inherited from std::exception

Member functions
   destructor destroys the exception object
   [virtual] (virtual public member function of std::exception)
   what returns an explanatory string
   [virtual] (virtual public member function of std::exception)

Example
   Compiles only in C++14 (or earlier) mode. // Run this code
 #include <exception>
 #include <iostream>
 #include <stdexcept>
 void my_unexp()
 {
     throw;
 }
 void test()
     throw(std::bad_exception) // Dynamic exception specifications
                        // are deprecated in C++11
 {
     throw std::runtime_error("test");
 }
 int main()
 {
     std::set_unexpected(my_unexp); // Deprecated in C++11, removed in C++17
     try
     {
         test();
     }
     catch (const std::bad_exception& e)
     {
         std::cerr << "Caught " << e.what() << '\n';
     }
 }

Possible output:
 Caught std::bad_exception
