Question

I am trying to use a class to throw an exception, the exception though has to be thrown with a value. How can i make the class so that when the exception is thrown it carries a value to the handler?

Answer 1

You can implement your own exception class.

struct MyException
{
   MyException(int v) : val(v) {};
   int val;
};

...

try 
{
   throw MyException(5);
}
catch ( const MyException& m )
{
   assert( m.val == 5 );
}
