|
The C and POSIX standards guarantee that <code class="varname">errno</code>
|
|||
|
is never set to zero by any library function.
|
|||
|
The C++ standard has less to say about when <code class="varname">errno</code>
|
|||
|
is or isn't set, but libstdc++ follows the same rule and never sets
|
|||
|
it to zero.
|
|||
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
On the other hand, there are few guarantees about when the C++ library
|
|||
|
sets <code class="varname">errno</code> on error, beyond what is specified for
|
|||
|
functions that come from the C library.
|
|||
|
For example, when <code class="function">std::stoi</code> throws an exception of
|
|||
|
type <code class="classname">std::out_of_range</code>, <code class="varname">errno</code>
|
|||
|
may or may not have been set to <code class="constant">ERANGE</code>.
|
|||
|
</p><p>
|
|||
|
Parts of the C++ library may be implemented in terms of C library
|
|||
|
functions, which may result in <code class="varname">errno</code> being set
|
|||
|
with no explicit call to a C function. For example, on a target where
|
|||
|
<code class="function">operator new</code> uses <code class="function">malloc</code>
|
|||
|
a failed memory allocation with <code class="function">operator new</code> might
|
|||
|
set <code class="varname">errno</code> to <code class="constant">ENOMEM</code>.
|
|||
|
Which C++ library functions can set <code class="varname">errno</code> in this way
|
|||
|
is unspecified because it may vary between platforms and between releases.
