filesystem_error( const filesystem_error& other ) noexcept; | (4) | (since C++17)

Constructs a new `filesystem_error` object.

1-3) The error code is set to `ec` and optionally, the paths that were involved in the operation that resulted in the error, are set to `p1` and `p2`. `what()` after construction returns a string that contains `what_arg` (assuming that it does not contain an embedded null character ). If either or both `path` arguments are not provided, a null `path` is used instead.
4) Copy constructor. Initialize the contents with those of `other`. If `*this` and `other` both have dynamic type `std::filesystem_error::filesystem_error` then std::strcmp(what(), other.what()) == 0.

### Parameters

what_arg | - | explanatory string
ec | - | error code for the specific operating system dependent error
p1, p2 | - | paths involved in the operation raising system error
other | - | another `filesystem_error` object to copy

### Notes

Because copying `std::filesystem::filesystem_error` is not permitted to throw exceptions, the explanatory string is typically stored internally in a separately-allocated reference-counted storage. This is also why there is no constructor taking `std::string&&`: it would have to copy the content anyway.

Typical implementations also store `path` objects referenced by path1() and path2() in the reference-counted storage.
