std::is_error_code_enum<std::io_errc>

Defined in header `<ios>`
template< > struct is_error_code_enum<std::io_errc> : public std::true_type { };		(since C++11)

This specialization of std::is_error_code_enum informs other library components that values of type std::io_errc are enumerations that hold error codes, which makes them implicitly convertible and assignable to objects of type std::error_code.

Inherited from std::integral_constant

Member constants

value

[static]

true
(public static member constant)

Member functions

operator bool	converts the object to `bool`, returns `value` (public member function)
operator() (C++14)	returns `value` (public member function)

Member types

Type	Definition
`value_type`	`bool`
`type`	`std::integral_constant<bool, value>`

Example

The comparison between e.code() and std::io_errc::stream compiles because std::is_error_code_enum<std::io_errc>::value == true.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
int main()
{
    std::ifstream f("doesn't exist");
    try {
        f.exceptions(f.failbit);
    } catch (const std::ios_base::failure& e) {
        std::cout << "Caught an ios_base::failure.\n";
        if(e.code() == std::io_errc::stream)
            std::cout << "The error code is std::io_errc::stream\n";
    }
}

Output:

Caught an ios_base::failure.
The error code is std::io_errc::stream
