#
The class sentry defines a class that is responsible for doing exception safe prefix and suffix operations.
🔗
explicit sentry(basic_ostream& os);
2
#
If os.good() is nonzero, prepares for formatted or unformatted output.
If os.tie() is not a null pointer, calls os.tie()->flush().292
3
#
If, after any preparation is completed, os.good() is true, ok_ == true otherwise, ok_ == false.
During preparation, the constructor may call setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_base​::​​failure ([iostate.flags])).293
🔗
~sentry();

#
If (os.flags() & ios_base​::​unitbuf) && !uncaught_exceptions() && os.good() is true, calls os.rdbuf()->pubsync().
If that function returns , sets badbit in os.rdstate() without propagating an exception.
🔗
explicit operator bool() const;

#
Effects: Returns ok_.
292)292)
The call os.tie()->flush() does not necessarily occur if the function can determine that no synchronization is necessary.
293)293)
The sentry constructor and destructor can also perform additional implementation-dependent operations.
