std::terminate()
is called by the C++ runtime when exception handling fails for any of the following reasons:
6) a dynamic exception specification is violated and the default handler for std::unexpected is executed 7) a non-default handler for std::unexpected throws an exception that violates the previously violated dynamic exception specification, if the specification does not include std::bad_exception | (until C++17) |
std::nested_exception::rethrow_nested
is called for an object that isn't holding a captured exceptionstd::thread

std::terminate()
may also be called directly from the program.
In any case, std::terminate
calls the currently installed std::terminate_handler
. The default std::terminate_handler
calls std::abort
