This code defines a constructor for a class named RegistryError. Here's what it does:

1. Inheritance from std::runtime_error:
   The RegistryError class likely inherits from std::runtime_error (a standard exception class in C++). The base class std::runtime_error is initialized using the colon notation with the message parameter, effectively passing the message string to the std::runtime_error constructor. This allows RegistryError instances to store and convey an error message.

2. Member initialization: The constructor initializes its member variable m_errorCode with the value of the errorCode parameter. This is done using a member initialization list: m_errorCode{errorCode}.

Behavior:

• When an instance of RegistryError is created, it will:
  • Pass the message string to the base class std::runtime_error to store the error message.
  • Initialize its own m_errorCode member with the given errorCode.

Example:

class RegistryError : public std::runtime_error {
public:
    RegistryError(const char* message, LONG errorCode)
        : std::runtime_error{message}
        , m_errorCode{errorCode} {}

    LONG GetErrorCode() const {
        return m_errorCode;
    }

private:
    LONG m_errorCode;
};

// Usage:
try {
    throw RegistryError("Registry operation failed", 5);
} catch (const RegistryError& e) {
    std::cout << "Error: " << e.what() << ", Code: " << e.GetErrorCode() << '\n';
}

In summary, this constructor initializes an exception object with both a string message (for human-readable error description) and an error code (for additional error context).
