Bug ID: 78710
Summary: suggest better exception text for stoi, stol, ...
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: nico at josuttis dot de
Target Milestone: ---
stoi("hello") currently throws an exception where what() only outputs "stoi"
(nothing else).
The reason is (if I analyzed it correctly):
- stoi etc. pass their name (just "stoi") to __stoa as __name
- __stoa calls:
std::__throw_invalid_argument(__name);
- which usually seems to call _GLIBCXX_THROW_OR_ABORT
Some component (either __stoa() or __throw_invalid_argument())
should extend the message at least a bit.
E.g. __stoa() might call
std::__throw_invalid_argument("invalid argument for " + __name)
(using a valid syntax of course).
