+ The C and POSIX standards guarantee that <code class="varname">errno</code>
+ is never set to zero by any library function.
+ The C++ standard has less to say about when <code class="varname">errno</code>
+ is or isn't set, but libstdc++ follows the same rule and never sets
+ it to zero.
+ </p><p>
+ On the other hand, there are few guarantees about when the C++ library
+ sets <code class="varname">errno</code> on error, beyond what is specified for
+ functions that come from the C library.
+ For example, when <code class="function">std::stoi</code> throws an exception of
+ type <code class="classname">std::out_of_range</code>, <code class="varname">errno</code>
+ may or may not have been set to <code class="constant">ERANGE</code>.
+ </p><p>
+ Parts of the C++ library may be implemented in terms of C library
+ functions, which may result in <code class="varname">errno</code> being set
+ with no explicit call to a C function. For example, on a target where
+ <code class="function">operator new</code> uses <code class="function">malloc</code>
+ a failed memory allocation with <code class="function">operator new</code> might
+ set <code class="varname">errno</code> to <code class="constant">ENOMEM</code>.
+ Which C++ library functions can set <code class="varname">errno</code> in this way
+ is unspecified because it may vary between platforms and between releases.
