What exception classes are in the standard C++ library
Solution 1:
std::exception <exception> interface (debatable if you should catch this)
std::bad_alloc <new> failure to allocate storage
std::bad_array_new_length <new> invalid array length
std::bad_cast <typeinfo> execution of an invalid dynamic-cast
std::bad_exception <exception> signifies an incorrect exception was thrown
std::bad_function_call <functional> thrown by "null" std::function
std::bad_typeid <typeinfo> using typeinfo on a null pointer
std::bad_weak_ptr <memory> constructing a shared_ptr from a bad weak_ptr
std::logic_error <stdexcept> errors detectable before the program executes
std::domain_error <stdexcept> parameter outside the valid range
std::future_error <future> violated a std::promise/std::future condition
std::invalid_argument <stdexcept> invalid argument
std::length_error <stdexcept> length exceeds its maximum allowable size
std::out_of_range <stdexcept> argument value not in its expected range
std::runtime_error <stdexcept> errors detectable when the program executes
std::overflow_error <stdexcept> arithmetic overflow error.
std::underflow_error <stdexcept> arithmetic underflow error.
std::range_error <stdexcept> range errors in internal computations
std::regex_error <regex> errors from the regular expression library.
std::system_error <system_error> from operating system or other C API
std::ios_base::failure <ios> Input or output error

In practice, most exceptions are custom exceptions derived from logic_error
and runtime_error
. Not that these are neglected, but that many exceptions are domain specific.
Keep in mind that an exception should reflect what went wrong and not who threw it. (No "MyProgramException"s)

Exception Description
===================================
std::exception An exception and parent class of all the standard C++ exceptions.
std::bad_alloc This can be thrown by new.
std::bad_cast This can be thrown by dynamic_cast.
std::bad_exception This is useful device to handle unexpected exceptions in a C++ program
std::bad_typeid This can be thrown by typeid.
std::logic_error An exception that theoretically can be detected by reading the code.
std::domain_error This is an exception thrown when a mathematically invalid domain is used
std::invalid_argument This is thrown due to invalid arguments.
std::length_error This is thrown when a too big std::string is created
std::out_of_range This can be thrown by the at method from for example a std::vector and std::bitset<>::operator[]().
std::runtime_error An exception that theoretically can not be detected by reading the code.
std::overflow_error This is thrown if a mathematical overflow occurs.
std::range_error This is occured when you try to store a value which is out of range.
std::underflow_error This is thrown if a mathematical underflow occurs.
