I am recently dealing with a problem with shared_ptr. I am curious if make_shared failed, it will raise exceptions right? Is there any kind of situation that the make_shared returned a nullptr but without any exceptions?
From the docs:
std::make_shared
...May throw std::bad_alloc or any exception thrown by the constructor of T.
So, if you throw exception from your class' constructor, then std::make_shared
will throw it too. Besides exceptions thrown from constructor, std::make_shared
could throw std::bad_alloc
exception on its own.
Therefore, you don't need to check if the result of std::make_shared
is nullptr
. Just be sure to catch the exception and properly handle it.
