<p>A string value that contains varying amount of diagnostic information about the passed object:</p>
<div><ul><li> If E can be statically converted to either boost::<span class="RenoLink"><a href="exception.html">exception</a></span> or to std::exception, dynamic_cast is used to access both the boost::<span class="RenoLink"><a href="exception.html">exception</a></span> and std::exception subobjects of e; otherwise, the boost::<span class="RenoLink">diagnostic_information</span> template is not available.</li>
<li> The returned value contains the string representations of all <span class="RenoLink"><a href="error_info.html">error_info</a></span> objects stored in the boost::<span class="RenoLink"><a href="exception.html">exception</a></span> subobject through <span class="RenoLink"><a href="exception_operator_shl.html">operator&lt;&lt;</a></span>.</li>

<p>The string representation of each <span class="RenoLink"><a href="error_info.html">error_info</a></span> object is deduced by a function call that is bound at the time the <span class="RenoLink"><a href="error_info.html">error_info</a></span>&lt;Tag,T&gt; template is instantiated.

<div><ol><li>Unqualified call to to_string(x), where x is of type <span class="RenoLink"><a href="error_info.html">error_info</a></span>&lt;Tag,T&gt; (the return value is expected to be of type std::string.)</li>

It converts x.<span class="RenoLink"><a href="error_info_value.html">value</a></span>() to string, attempting to bind (at the time the <span class="RenoLink"><a href="error_info.html">error_info</a></span>&lt;Tag,T&gt; template is instantiated) the following functions in order:</p>
