class bad_cast : public std::exception; |
An exception of this type is thrown when a dynamic_cast
to a reference type fails the run-time check (e.g. because the types are not related by inheritance), and also from std::use_facet
if the requested facet does not exist in the locale.

#include <iostream> #include <typeinfo> struct Foo { virtual ~Foo() {} }; struct Bar { virtual ~Bar() {} }; int main() { Bar b; try { Foo& f = dynamic_cast<Foo&>(b); } catch(const std::bad_cast& e) { std::cout << e.what() << '\n'; } }
Possible output:
Bad dynamic cast
