Constructs new exception object.
1) Default constructor. what() returns an implementation-defined string.
2) Copy constructor. Initializes the contents with those of other. If *this and other both have dynamic type
std::exception

Parameters
other | - | another exception to assign the contents of |
Notes
Because copying std::exception
is not permitted to throw exceptions, when derived classes (such as std::runtime_error
The Microsoft implementation includes non-standard constructors taking strings thus allowing instances to be thrown directly with a meaningful error message. The nearest standard equivalents are std::runtime_error or std::logic_error
