# V5003\. OWASP\. The object was created but it is not being used\. The 'throw' keyword could be missing\.

Note: the diagnostic rule applies only to C\+\+\.

The analyzer has detected a potential error related to the use of the 'std::exception' class or derived class\. The analyzer has issued the warning when an object of the 'std::exception' / 'CException' type is created but not being used\.

Here is the example:

```cpp
if (name.empty())
  std::logic_error("Name mustn't be empty");
```

The 'throw' keyword has accidentally been omitted\. As a result, the code does not throw an exception when an error occurs\.

Here is the fixed code:

```cpp
if (name.empty())
  throw std::logic_error("Name mustn't be empty");
```
