const path& path1() const noexcept;
Returns: A reference to the copy of p1 stored by the constructor, or, if none, an empty path.
const path& path2() const noexcept;
Returns: A reference to the copy of p2 stored by the constructor, or, if none, an empty path.
const char* what() const noexcept override;
Returns: A string containing runtime_­error​::​what().
The exact format is unspecified.
Implementations are encouraged but not required to include path1.native_­string() if not empty, path2.native_­string() if not empty, and system_­error​::​what() strings in the returned string.
