bad_cast

首先学习一下bad_cast 

在微软的解释:The bad_cast exception is thrown by thedynamic_cast operator as the result of a failed cast to a reference type.

 

catch (bad_cast)
   statement

 

bad_cast 的接口是: 

class bad_cast : public exception {
public:
   bad_cast(const char * _Message = "bad cast");
   bad_cast(const bad_cast &);
   virtual ~bad_cast();
};

最新的VS2012的代码是：

class _CRTIMP_PURE bad_cast : public exception {
public:
#ifdef _M_CEE_PURE
    __CLR_OR_THIS_CALL bad_cast(const char * _Message = "bad cast")
        : exception(_Message)
    {}
    __CLR_OR_THIS_CALL bad_cast(const bad_cast &_That)
        : exception(_That)
    {}
    virtual __CLR_OR_THIS_CALL ~bad_cast() _NOEXCEPT
    {}
#else   /* _M_CEE_PURE */
    __CLR_OR_THIS_CALL bad_cast(const char * _Message = "bad cast");
    __CLR_OR_THIS_CALL bad_cast(const bad_cast &);
    virtual __CLR_OR_THIS_CALL ~bad_cast() _NOEXCEPT;
#endif  /* _M_CEE_PURE */
};

 

// expre_bad_cast_Exception.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc /GR
#include <typeinfo.h>
#include <iostream>

class Shape {
public:
   virtual void virtualfunc() const {}
};

class Circle: public Shape {
public:
   virtual void virtualfunc() const {}
};

using namespace std;
int main() {
   Shape shape_instance;
   Shape& ref_shape = shape_instance;
   try {
      Circle& ref_circle = dynamic_cast<Circle&>(ref_shape); 
   }
   catch (bad_cast b) {
      cout << "Caught: " << b.what();
   }
}
