template<classErrorCodeEnum>error_code&operator=(ErrorCodeEnume)noexcept; (1) (since C++11)error_code&operator=(consterror_code&other)=default; (2) (since C++11)
(implicitly declared)error_code&operator=(error_code&&other)=default; (3) (since C++11)
(implicitly declared)1) Replaces the error code and corresponding category with those representing error code enum e.

Equivalent to *this=make_error_code(e), where make_error_code is only found by

argument-dependent lookup

.

This overload participates in overload resolution only if std::is_error_code_enum<ErrorCodeEnum>::value is true.

2,3) Implicitly defined copy-assignment operator and move-assignment operator assign the contents of other to *this.

Parameters

e - error code enum to construct other - another error code to assign with Return value

*this
