19.5.7 Class system_­error [syserr.syserr]

19.5.7.1 Overview [syserr.syserr.overview]

1
#
The class system_­error describes an exception object used to report error conditions that have an associated error code.
Such error conditions typically originate from the operating system or other low-level application program interfaces.
2
#
[Note
:
If an error represents an out-of-memory condition, implementations are encouraged to throw an exception object of type bad_­alloc rather than system_­error.
