std::string diagnostic_information( E const & e );
std::string diagnostic_information( exception_ptr const & p );
}
A string value that contains varying amount of implementation-specific diagnostic information about the passed object:
The string representation of each error_info object is deduced by a function call that is bound at the time the error_info<Tag,T> template is instantiated. The following overload resolutions are attempted in order:
The first successfully bound function is used at the time diagnostic_information is called; if all 3 overload resolutions are unsuccessful, the system is unable to convert the error_info object to string, and an unspecified stub string value is used without issuing a compile error.
The exception_ptr overload of diagnostic_information is equivalent to:
if( p ) try { rethrow_exception(p); } catch(...) { return current_exception_diagnostic_information(); } else return <unspecified-string-value>;
this is a possible output from the diagnostic_information function, as used in libs/exception/example/example_io.cpp:
