std::terminate_handler

From cppreference.com

Defined in header `<exception>`

typedef void (*terminate_handler)();

std::terminate_handler is the function pointer type (pointer to function that takes no arguments and returns void), which is installed and queried by the functions std::set_terminate and std::get_terminate and called by std::terminate.

The C++ implementation provides a default std::terminate_handler function, which calls std::abort(). If the null pointer value is installed (by means of std::set_terminate), the implementation may restore the default handler instead.

terminate	function called when exception handling fails (function)

set_terminate	changes the function to be called by std::terminate (function)

get_terminate (C++11)	obtains the current terminate_handler (function)
