Defined in header <exception>
std::terminate_handler set_terminate( std::terminate_handler f );

Makes f the new global terminate handler function and returns the previously installed std::terminate_handler.

This function is thread-safe. Every call to std::set_terminate synchronizes-with (see std::memory_order) the subsequent std::set_terminate and std::get_terminate

(since C++11)

Parameters

f

-

pointer to function of type std::terminate_handler, or null pointer

Return value

The previously-installed terminate handler, or a null pointer value if none was installed.

Exceptions

(none)	(until C++11)
noexcept specification:   noexcept	(since C++11)

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