system_error( const system_error& other ) noexcept;
(5) (since C++11)

Constructs new system error object.

1) Constructs with error code ec
2) Constructs with error code ec and explanation string what_arg. The string returned by what() is guaranteed to contain what_arg as a substring.
3) Constructs with underlying error code ev and associated error category ecat.
4) Constructs with underlying error code ev, associated error category ecat and explanatory string what_arg. The string returned by what() is guaranteed to contain what_arg as a substring (assuming that it doesn't contain an embedded null character ).
5) Copy constructor. Initializes the contents with those of other. If *this and other both have dynamic type std::system_error then std::strcmp(what(), other.what()) == 0.

Parameters

ec - error code
ev - underlying error code in the enumeration associated with ecat
ecat - the category of error
what_arg - explanatory string
other - another system_error to copy

Example

Demonstrates how to create a system_error exception from an errno value.

#include <iostream>
#include <system_error>
 
int main()
{
    try
    {
        throw std::system_error(EDOM, std::generic_category(), "hello world");
    }
    catch (const std::system_error& ex)
    {
        std::cout << ex.code() << '\n';
        std::cout << ex.code().message() << '\n';
        std::cout << ex.what() << '\n';
    }
}

Possible output:

generic:33
Numerical argument out of domain
hello world: Numerical argument out of domain
