Hi,

C++ has wide character support. For example, for strings we can do
basic_string<wchar_t>.

But if I try to throw a standard exception with a wide string as
parameter I get an error, e.g.:
throw logic_error(basic_string<wchar_t>(L"foo"));

Apparently, the standard does not support wide characters for the
standard exceptions (i.e., we can not do something like this:
throw logic_error<wchar_t>(basic_string<wchar_t>(L"foo"));

Why is this so designed, and how are standard exceptions usually
used in wide character applications?

Thanks
FAU
