+    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.
