Detailed Description

template<typename Ex>
struct ThePEG::Throw< Ex >

Helper function to make it easier to throw exceptions.

The template argument should be a class inheriting from Exception. In the constructor, an object of this Exception class is created and afterwards a message may be added using ostream-like output (<<). If a Exception::Severity value is output with << the Exception object is assumed to be complete and the exception is actually thrown, except if the Exception::Severity value Exception::warning was specified, in which case the Exception object is treated as a warning which is logged with the current EventGenerator. If no current EventGenerator is present the warning message is instead written to std::cerr. If no Exception::Severity is specified, the Exception object is treated as a warning when the Throw object is destroyed.

Assuming you have an Exception class called MyEx the Throw class is used as follows:
Throw<MyEx&gt>() << "My error message" << Exception::eventerror;
This will throw an exception and the current event will be discarded. Changing Exception::eventerror to Exception::warning will write out a warning, but no proper exception is thrown.

◆ operator<<()

template<typename Ex >

void ThePEG::Throw< Ex >::operator<< ( Exception::Severity sev )

inline

Specify the Exception::Severity of the exception.

If this is Exception::warning, the exception will not be thown, instead it will be logged with writeWarning(). All other seveities will cause the exception to be thrown immediately.
