22.8.4 Class template bad_expected_access [expected.bad]

namespace std { template<class E> class bad_expected_access : public bad_expected_access<void> { public: constexpr explicit bad_expected_access(E); constexpr const char* what() const noexcept override; constexpr E& error() & noexcept; constexpr const E& error() const & noexcept; constexpr E&& error() && noexcept; constexpr const E&& error() const && noexcept; private: E unex; // exposition only }; }
The class template bad_expected_access defines the type of objects thrown as exceptions to report the situation where an attempt is made to access the value of an expected<T, E> object for which has_value() is false.
constexpr explicit bad_expected_access(E e);
Effects: Initializes unex with std​::​move(e).
constexpr const E& error() const & noexcept; constexpr E& error() & noexcept;
Returns: unex.
constexpr E&& error() && noexcept; constexpr const E&& error() const && noexcept;
Returns: std​::​move(unex).
constexpr const char* what() const noexcept override;
Returns: An implementation-defined ntbs, which during constant evaluation is encoded with the ordinary literal encoding ([lex.ccon]).
