What is the meaning of this C++ Error std::length_error

Question

While running my program I get this error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of \'std::length_error\'
  what():  basic_string::_S_create
Abort trap
         


        

Answer 1

It means you tried to create a string bigger than std::string::max_size().

An exception of type length_error Class is thrown when an operation produces a string with a length greater than the maximum size.
