Detailed Description

Define common exceptions used throughout the code:

  • The python built-in exceptions were used as inspiration.
  • Exceptions inherit from std::exception to provide what().
  • Exceptions inherit from uhd::exception to provide code().

The code() provides an error code which allows the application the option of printing a cryptic error message from the 1990s.

The dynamic_clone() and dynamic_throw() methods allow us to: catch an exception by dynamic type (i.e. derived class), save it, and later rethrow it, knowing only the static type (i.e. base class), and then finally to catch it again using the derived type.

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2006/n2106.html

Useful templated functions, classes, and constants. Some of these overlap with the STL, but these are created with Boost for portability. Many of the range wrapper functions come with versions of boost >= 1.43.
