Consider a class hierarchy with Base and Derived classes. An object of Derived throws an exception that is caught in a catch block for Base exceptions. What considerations might be relevant to the use of dynamic_cast inside the catch block? 

  • Checking the type of the exception. 
  • Re-throwing the exception. 
  • Modifying the caught object in the catch block. 
  • Use of multiple inheritance.
When an exception of Derived type is caught as its base type, using dynamic_cast can help determine the exact type of the caught exception. This can be useful if you want to take specific actions based on the exact type of the exception. Remember, dynamic_cast will return a nullptr if the cast is not valid for pointers or throw a std::bad_cast exception for references, so it's essential to check for these cases.
