std::error_code::error_code

default constructor (1)

Error code with a value of 0 of the system_category (generally indicating no error).

initialization constructor (2)

Error code with a value of val of the category specified by cat.

construct from error code enum type (3)

Calls make_error_code to construct an error code.
This constructor only participates in overload resolution if is_error_code_enum<ErrorCodeEnum>::value is true.

Parameters

val

A numerical value identifying an error code.

cat

A reference to an error_category object.

e

Error code enum value of an enum type for which is_error_code_enum has a value member with a value of true.
