std::bad_function_call(3)

NAME
std::bad_function_call - std::bad_function_call

Synopsis
   Defined in header <functional>
   class bad_function_call; (since C++11)
   std::bad_function_call is the type of the exception thrown by
   std::function::operator() if the function wrapper has no target.

Member functions
   constructor constructs a new bad_function_call object
                 (public member function)
   operator= replaces the bad_function_call object
                 (public member function)
   what returns the explanatory string
                 (public member function) std::bad_function_call::bad_function_call
   bad_function_call() noexcept; (1) (since C++11)
   bad_function_call( const bad_function_call& other ) noexcept; (2) (since C++11)
   Constructs a new bad_function_call object with an implementation-defined
   null-terminated byte string which is accessible through what().
   1) Default constructor.
   2) Copy constructor. If *this and other both have dynamic type
   std::bad_function_call then std::strcmp(what(), other.what()) == 0.

Parameters
   other - another exception object to copy std::bad_function_call::operator=
   bad_function_call& operator=( const bad_function_call& other ) (since C++11)
   noexcept;
   Assigns the contents with those of other. If *this and other both have dynamic type
   std::bad_function_call then std::strcmp(what(), other.what()) == 0 after assignment.

Parameters
   other - another exception object to assign with

Return value
   *this std::bad_function_call::what
   virtual const char* what() const noexcept; (since C++11)
   Returns the explanatory string.

Parameters
   (none)

Return value
   Pointer to a null-terminated string with explanatory information. The string is
   suitable for conversion and display as a std::wstring. The pointer is guaranteed to
   be valid at least until the exception object from which it is obtained is destroyed,
   or until a non-const member function (e.g. copy assignment operator) on the
   exception object is called.

Notes
   Implementations are allowed but not required to override what(). 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
// Run this code
 #include <functional>
 #include <iostream>
 int main()
 {
     std::function<int()> f = nullptr;
     try
     {
         f();
     }
     catch (const std::bad_function_call& e)
     {
         std::cout << e.what() << '\n';
     }
 }

Possible output:
 bad function call
