current_exception
Obtains a smart pointer to the current exception.
exception_ptr current_exception();
Return Value
An exception_ptr object pointing to the current exception.
Remarks
Call the current_exception function in a catch block. If an exception is in flight and the catch block can catch the exception, the current_exception function returns an exception_ptr object that references the exception. Otherwise, the function returns a null exception_ptr object.
The current_exception function captures the exception that is in flight regardless of whether the catch statement specifies an exception-declaration statement.
The destructor for the current exception is called at the end of the catch block if you do not rethrow the exception. However, even if you call the current_exception function in the destructor, the function returns an exception_ptr object that references the current exception.
Successive calls to the current_exception function return exception_ptr objects that refer to different copies of the current exception. Consequently, the objects compare as unequal because they refer to different copies, even though the copies have the same binary value.
