Detailed Description

Windows exception class.

WindowsExceptions should not be constructed explicitly. Instead, use the THROW_WINDOWS_EXCEPTION() macro, which will construct and throw an exception annotated with the filename and line number of the failure.

The difference between this class and the "default" exception class is that WindowsExceptions convert HRESULT error codes into error strings.

The error message returned by what() has the following components:

1. Filename and line number at which the exception was thrown.
2. Description string what passed to the constructor.
3. Description of the HRESULT error code passed to the constructor.
