Detailed Description

Catch-all exception.

It could happen that a specific ring can raise some exception which makes sense for that ring only. For example, when asking for GF(n), the finite field with n elements, an exception must be thrown if n is not the power of a prime number. In order to accomodate for these ring-specific exceptions, the Generic exception is provided. The string parameter of its only constructor can be used to specify the reason of the exception, for example,

      if (not is_prime_power(n))
        throw RingEx::Generic("Field size is not the power of a prime number");
