### 373. Are basic_istream and basic_ostream to use (exceptions()&badbit) != 0 ?

Discussion:

In 31.7.5.3.1 [istream.formatted.reqmts] and 31.7.6.3.1 [ostream.formatted.reqmts] (exception()&badbit) != 0 is used in testing for rethrow, yet exception() is the constructor to class std::exception in 17.8.3 [type.info] that has no return type. Should member function exceptions() found in 31.5.4 [ios] be used instead?

Proposed resolution:

In 31.7.5.3.1 [istream.formatted.reqmts] and 31.7.6.3.1 [ostream.formatted.reqmts], change "(exception()&badbit) != 0" to "(exceptions()&badbit) != 0".

Rationale:

Fixes an obvious typo.
