How to deal with noexcept in Visual Studio

Question

I\'m trying to create a custom exception that derives from std::exception and overrides what(). At first, I wrote it like this:

class U         


        

Answer 1

Add the following lines in your code in Visual Studio:

#ifdef _NOEXCEPT
#define noexcept _NOEXCEPT
#endif

Answer 2

The noexcept is one of the easiest "lacks" of MSVC to deal with: Just use the macro _NOEXCEPT which under MSVC2013 is defined in yvals.h .

Answer 3

add the below path to the additional include directories

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\include

at this location there is file called "yvals.h" which contain definition of _NOEXCEPT

Answer 4

It seems that the old throw() (deprecated in C++11) works in both compilers. So I changed the code to:

virtual const char* what() const throw() override

Answer 5

What I've recently used is following:

#ifdef _MSC_VER
#define NOEXCEPT _NOEXCEPT
#else
#define NOEXCEPT noexcept
#endif

and then just use NOEXCEPT everywhere.
