22.5.4.1 Class error_­condition overview [syserr.errcondition.overview]

The class error_­condition describes an object used to hold values identifying error conditions.
[Note
:
error_­condition values are portable abstractions, while error_­code values ([syserr.errcode]) are implementation specific.

22.5.4.2 Class error_­condition constructors [syserr.errcondition.constructors]

error_condition() noexcept;
Effects: Constructs an object of type error_­condition.
Postconditions: val_­ == 0 and cat_­ == &generic_­category().
error_condition(int val, const error_category& cat) noexcept;
Effects: Constructs an object of type error_­condition.
Postconditions: val_­ == val and cat_­ == &cat.
template <class ErrorConditionEnum> error_condition(ErrorConditionEnum e) noexcept;
Effects: Constructs an object of type error_­condition.
Postconditions: *this == make_­error_­condition(e).
Remarks: This constructor shall not participate in overload resolution unless
is_­error_­condition_­enum_­v<ErrorConditionEnum> is true.

22.5.4.3 Class error_­condition modifiers [syserr.errcondition.modifiers]

void assign(int val, const error_category& cat) noexcept;
Postconditions: val_­ == val and cat_­ == &cat.
template <class ErrorConditionEnum> error_condition& operator=(ErrorConditionEnum e) noexcept;
Postconditions: *this == make_­error_­condition(e).
Returns: *this.
Remarks: This operator shall not participate in overload resolution unless
is_­error_­condition_­enum_­v<ErrorConditionEnum> is true.
void clear() noexcept;
Postconditions: value() == 0 and category() == generic_­category().

22.5.4.4 Class error_­condition observers [syserr.errcondition.observers]

int value() const noexcept;
Returns: val_­.
const error_category& category() const noexcept;
Returns: *cat_­.
string message() const;
Returns: category().message(value()).
explicit operator bool() const noexcept;
Returns: value() != 0.

22.5.4.5 Class error_­condition non-member functions [syserr.errcondition.nonmembers]

error_condition make_error_condition(errc e) noexcept;
Returns: error_­condition(static_­cast<int>(e), generic_­category()).
