From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | error

Defined in header `<exception>` |  |
std::unexpected_handler set_unexpected( std::unexpected_handler f ) |  |

Makes `f` the new global std::unexpected_handler and returns the previously installed std::unexpected_handler.

This function is thread-safe. Every call to `std::set_unexpected` synchronizes-with (see std::memory_order) the subsequent calls to `std::set_unexpected` and std::get_unexpected | (since C++11)

### [edit] Parameters

f | - | pointer to function of type std::unexpected_handler, or null pointer

### [edit] Return value

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

### [edit] Exceptions

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

### [edit] See also
