The C++ standard library has two main classes of exceptions that other 
exceptions usually derive from: std::logic_error and std::runtime_error. 
  logic_error is generally meant to indicate that the programmer made an 
error, whereas runtime_error is usually used to indicate something such 
as out-of-memory conditions or the like.  So Cairo::logic_error just 
inherits from std::logic_error and is used to indicate all of the errors 
that are listed under the heading 'Programmer error' on this page:
