terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::invalid_argument' what(): stoi

Question

stoi function crashes program with the error message

"****@****:~> g++ -std=c++0x m1.cpp stimulation.h stims.h Task.h exoskeleton.h ARAIG_Sensors.h Profile.h

ARAIG_Sensors.h:1:9: warning: #pragma once in main file [enabled by default]

Profile.h:1:9: warning: #pragma once in main file [enabled by default]

*****@****:~> a.out StimulationConfig.csv TaskConfiguration.csv SampleProfileConfig.csv SampleOutput.txt

First : a.out
Second : StimulationConfig.csv
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::invalid_argument'
  what():  stoi
Aborted

and I can't figure out why, there is a instance being passed into the function but still returning an error. Can someone please help me out with a solution maybe?

Answer 1

You could use stroi instead of stoi (stroi has a more robust error handling routine).

Answer 2

It means you are giving std::stoi() bad input, so it is throwing a std::invalid_argument exception that you are not catching.

std::stoi, std::stol, std::stoll:

Exceptions

• std::invalid_argument if no conversion could be performed

• std::out_of_range if the converted value would fall out of the range of the result type or if the underlying function (std::strtol or std::strtoll) sets errno to ERANGE.

std::terminate

std::terminate() is called by the C++ runtime when exception handling fails for any of the following reasons:

1) an exception is thrown and not caught (it is implementation-defined whether any stack unwinding is done in this case)

You need to double-check your input string values that you are trying to convert to integers. They do not represent integers.
