Helper classes

is_error_code_enum

hash<std::error_code>

 

template< class ErrorCodeEnum > error_code& operator=( ErrorCodeEnum e ) noexcept;	(1)	(since C++11)
error_code& operator=( const error_code& other ) = default;	(2)	(since C++11) (implicitly declared)
error_code& operator=( error_code&& other ) = default;	(3)	(since C++11) (implicitly declared)

1) Replaces the error code and corresponding category with those representing error code enum e.

Equivalent to *this = make_error_code(e), where make_error_code is only found by argument-dependent lookup.

This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_error_code_enum<ErrorCodeEnum>::value is true.

2,3) Implicitly defined copy-assignment operator and move-assignment operator assign the contents of other to *this.

Parameters

e	-	error code enum to construct
other	-	another error code to assign with

Return value

*this
