Here is my Error class to handle errors with try & catch :
#include <stdexcept>
#include <string>
class Error : public std::exception
{
public:
Error(const std::string&) throw();
~Error() throw();
const char* what() const throw();
private:
std::string _msg;
};
And the cpp file :
#include "Error.hpp"
Error::Error(const std::string& msg) throw()
: _msg(msg)
{
}
Error::~Error() throw()
{
}
const char* Error::what() const throw()
{
return (_msg.c_str());
}
And I have this errors while compiling:

I've already used this Error class for another project, and it worked well. I don't understand why here it doesn't work.
