Boost Exception

exception_ptr

#include <boost/exception_ptr.hpp>

namespace
boost
    {
    typedef ---unspecified--- exception_ptr;
    }

The exception_ptr type can be used to refer to a copy of an exception object. It is Default Constructible, Copy Constructible, Assignable and Equality Comparable; exception_ptr's operations do not throw.

Two instances of exception_ptr are equivalent and compare equal if and only if they refer to the same exception.

The default constructor of exception_ptr produces the null value of the type. The null value is equivalent only to itself.
