17.9 Exception handling [support.exception]

[[noreturn]] void terminate() noexcept;

Effects: Calls a terminate_handler function.

It is unspecified which terminate_handler function will be called if an exception is active during a call to set_terminate.

Otherwise calls the current terminate_handler function.

[Note 1:

A default terminate_handler is always considered a callable handler in this context.

— end note]

Remarks: Called by the implementation when exception handling must be abandoned for any of several reasons ([except.terminate]).

May also be called directly by the program.
