Each of the standard categories includes a family of facets. Some of these implement formatting or parsing of a datum, for use by standard or users' iostream operators << and >>, as members put() and get(), respectively. Each such member function takes an ios_base& argument whose members flags(), precision(), and width(), specify the format of the corresponding datum ([ios.base]). Those functions which need to use other facets call its member getloc() to retrieve the locale imbued there. Formatting facets use the character argument fill to fill out the specified width where necessary.
The put() members make no provision for error reporting. (Any failures of the OutputIterator argument must be extracted from the returned iterator.) The get() members take an ios_base::iostate& argument whose value they ignore, but set to ios_base::failbit in case of a parse error.
Within this clause it is unspecified whether one virtual function calls another virtual function.

Class ctype encapsulates the C library <cctype> features. istream members are required to use ctype<> for character classing during input parsing.
The specializations required in Table [tab:localization.category.facets] ([locale.category]), namely ctype<char> and ctype<wchar_t>, implement character classing appropriate to the implementation's native character set.
bool is(mask m, charT c) const;
const charT* is(const charT* low, const charT* high,
mask* vec) const;
Returns: do_is(m,c) or do_is(low,high,vec)
const charT* scan_is(mask m,
const charT* low, const charT* high) const;
Returns: do_scan_is(m,low,high)
const charT* scan_not(mask m,

Returns: do_scan_not(m,low,high)
charT toupper(charT) const;
const charT* toupper(charT* low, const charT* high) const;
Returns: do_toupper(c) or do_toupper(low,high)
charT tolower(charT c) const;
const charT* tolower(charT* low, const charT* high) const;
Returns: do_tolower(c) or do_tolower(low,high)
charT widen(char c) const;
const char* widen(const char* low, const char* high, charT* to) const;
Returns: do_widen(c) or do_widen(low,high,to)
char narrow(charT c, char dfault) const;
const charT* narrow(const charT* low, const charT*, char dfault,
char* to) const;
Returns: do_narrow(c,dfault) or do_narrow(low,high,dfault,to)
bool do_is(mask m, charT c) const;
const charT* do_is(const charT* low, const charT* high,
mask* vec) const;
Effects: Classifies a character or sequence of characters. For each argument character, identifies a value M of type ctype_base::mask. The second form identifies a value M of type ctype_base::mask for each *p where (low<=p && p<high), and places it into vec[p-low].
Returns: The first form returns the result of the expression (M & m) != 0; i.e., true if the character has the characteristics specified. The second form returns high.
const charT* do_scan_is(mask m,
const charT* low, const charT* high) const;
Effects: Locates a character in a buffer that conforms to a classification m.
Returns: The smallest pointer p in the range [low, high) such that is(m,*p) would return true; otherwise, returns high.
const charT* do_scan_not(mask m,
const charT* low, const charT* high) const;
Effects: Locates a character in a buffer that fails to conform to a classification m.
Returns: The smallest pointer p, if any, in the range [low,high) such that is(m,*p) would return false; otherwise, returns high.
charT do_toupper(charT c) const;
const charT* do_toupper(charT* low, const charT* high) const;
Effects: Converts a character or characters to upper case. The second form replaces each character *p in the range [low,high) for which a corresponding upper-case character exists, with that character.
Returns: The first form returns the corresponding upper-case character if it is known to exist, or its argument if not. The second form returns high.
charT do_tolower(charT c) const;
const charT* do_tolower(charT* low, const charT* high) const;
Effects: Converts a character or characters to lower case. The second form replaces each character *p in the range [low,high) and for which a corresponding lower-case character exists, with that character.
Returns: The first form returns the corresponding lower-case character if it is known to exist, or its argument if not. The second form returns high.
charT do_widen(char c) const;
const char* do_widen(const char* low, const char* high,
charT* dest) const;
Effects: Applies the simplest reasonable transformation from a char value or sequence of char values to the corresponding charT value or values.240 The only characters for which unique transformations are required are those in the basic source character set ([lex.charset]).
For any named ctype category with a ctype<charT> facet ctc and valid ctype_base::mask value M, (ctc.is(M, c) || !is(M, do_widen(c)) ) is true.241
The second form transforms each character *p in the range [low,high), placing the result in dest[p-low].
Returns: The first form returns the transformed value. The second form returns high.
char do_narrow(charT c, char dfault) const;
const charT* do_narrow(const charT* low, const charT* high,
char dfault, char* dest) const;
Effects: Applies the simplest reasonable transformation from a charT value or sequence of charT values to the corresponding char value or values.
For any character c in the basic source character set ([lex.charset]) the transformation is such that
do_widen(do_narrow(c,0)) == c
For any named ctype category with a ctype<char> facet ctc however, and ctype_base::mask value M,
(is(M,c) || !ctc.is(M, do_narrow(c,dfault)) )
is true (unless do_narrow returns dfault). In addition, for any digit character c, the expression (do_narrow(c, dfault) - '0') evaluates to the digit value of the character. The second form transforms each character *p in the range [low,high), placing the result (or dfault if no simple transformation is readily available) in dest[p-low].
Returns: The first form returns the transformed value; or dfault if no mapping is readily available. The second form returns high.
The char argument of do_widen is intended to accept values derived from character literals for conversion to the locale's encoding.
In other words, the transformed character is not a member of any character classification that c is not also a member of.

A specialization ctype<char> is provided so that the member functions on type char can be implemented inline.242 The implementation-defined value of member table_size is at least 256.
Only the char (not unsigned char and signed char) form is provided. The specialization is specified in the standard, and not left as an implementation detail, because it affects the derivation interface for ctype<char>.
Effects: If the constructor's first argument was nonzero, and its second argument was true, does delete [] table().
In the following member descriptions, for unsigned char values v where v >= table_size, table()[v] is assumed to have an implementation-specific value (possibly different for each such value v) without performing the array lookup.
explicit ctype(const mask* tbl = 0, bool del = false,
size_t refs = 0);
Requires: tbl either 0 or an array of at least table_size elements.
Effects: Passes its refs argument to its base class constructor.
bool is(mask m, char c) const;
const char* is(const char* low, const char* high,
mask* vec) const;
Effects: The second form, for all *p in the range [low,high), assigns into vec[p-low] the value table()[ (unsigned char)*p].
Returns: The first form returns table()[(unsigned char)c] & m; the second form returns high.
const char* scan_is(mask m,
const char* low, const char* high) const;
Returns: The smallest p in the range [low,high) such that
table()[(unsigned char) *p] & m
is true.
const char* scan_not(mask m,
const char* low, const char* high) const;
Returns: The smallest p in the range [low,high) such that
table()[(unsigned char) *p] & m
is false.
char toupper(char c) const;
const char* toupper(char* low, const char* high) const;
Returns: do_toupper(c) or do_toupper(low,high), respectively.
char tolower(char c) const;
const char* tolower(char* low, const char* high) const;
Returns: do_tolower(c) or do_tolower(low,high), respectively.
char widen(char c) const;
const char* widen(const char* low, const char* high,
char* to) const;
char narrow(char c, char dfault) const;
const char* narrow(const char* low, const char* high,
char dfault, char* to) const;
const mask* table() const noexcept;
Returns: The first constructor argument, if it was non-zero, otherwise classic_table().
static const mask* classic_table() noexcept;
Returns: A pointer to the initial element of an array of size table_size which represents the classifications of characters in the "C" locale.
char do_toupper(char) const; const char* do_toupper(char* low, const char* high) const; char do_tolower(char) const; const char* do_tolower(char* low, const char* high) const; virtual char do_widen(char c) const; virtual const char* do_widen(const char* low, const char* high, char* to) const; virtual char do_narrow(char c, char dfault) const; virtual const char* do_narrow(const char* low, const char* high, char dfault, char* to) const;
These functions are described identically as those members of the same name in the ctype class template ([locale.ctype.members]).
namespace std { class codecvt_base { public: enum result { ok, partial, error, noconv }; }; template <class internT, class externT, class stateT> class codecvt : public locale::facet, public codecvt_base { public: typedef internT intern_type; typedef externT extern_type; typedef stateT state_type; explicit codecvt(size_t refs = 0); result out(stateT& state, const internT* from, const internT* from_end, const internT*& from_next, externT* to, externT* to_end, externT*& to_next) const; result unshift(stateT& state, externT* to, externT* to_end, externT*& to_next) const; result in(stateT& state, const externT* from, const externT* from_end, const externT*& from_next, internT* to, internT* to_end, internT*& to_next) const; int encoding() const noexcept; bool always_noconv() const noexcept; int length(stateT&, const externT* from, const externT* end, size_t max) const; int max_length() const noexcept; static locale::id id; protected: ~codecvt(); virtual result do_out(stateT& state, const internT* from, const internT* from_end, const internT*& from_next, externT* to, externT* to_end, externT*& to_next) const; virtual result do_in(stateT& state, const externT* from, const externT* from_end, const externT*& from_next, internT* to, internT* to_end, internT*& to_next) const; virtual result do_unshift(stateT& state, externT* to, externT* to_end, externT*& to_next) const; virtual int do_encoding() const noexcept; virtual bool do_always_noconv() const noexcept; virtual int do_length(stateT&, const externT* from, const externT* end, size_t max) const; virtual int do_max_length() const noexcept; }; }
The class codecvt<internT,externT,stateT> is for use when converting from one character encoding to another, such as from wide characters to multibyte characters or between wide character encodings such as Unicode and EUC.
The stateT argument selects the pair of character encodings being mapped between.
The specializations required in Table [tab:localization.category.facets] ([locale.category]) convert the implementation-defined native character set. codecvt<char, char, mbstate_t> implements a degenerate conversion; it does not convert at all. The specialization codecvt<char16_t, char, mbstate_t> converts between the UTF-16 and UTF-8 encoding forms, and the specialization codecvt <char32_t, char, mbstate_t> converts between the UTF-32 and UTF-8 encoding forms. codecvt<wchar_t,char,mbstate_t> converts between the native character sets for narrow and wide characters. Specializations on mbstate_t perform conversion between encodings known to the library implementer. Other encodings can be converted by specializing on a user-defined stateT type. Objects of type stateT can contain any state that is useful to communicate to or from the specialized do_in or do_out members.
result out(stateT& state,
const internT* from, const internT* from_end, const internT*& from_next,
externT* to, externT* to_end, externT*& to_next) const;
Returns: do_out(state, from, from_end, from_next, to, to_end, to_next)
result unshift(stateT& state,
externT* to, externT* to_end, externT*& to_next) const;
Returns: do_unshift(state, to, to_end, to_next)
result in(stateT& state,
const externT* from, const externT* from_end, const externT*& from_next,
internT* to, internT* to_end, internT*& to_next) const;
Returns: do_in(state, from, from_end, from_next, to, to_end, to_next)
int encoding() const noexcept;
Returns: do_encoding()
bool always_noconv() const noexcept;
Returns: do_always_noconv()
int length(stateT& state, const externT* from, const externT* from_end,
size_t max) const;
Returns: do_length(state, from,from_end,max)
int max_length() const noexcept;
Returns: do_max_length()
result do_out(stateT& state,
const internT* from, const internT* from_end, const internT*& from_next,
externT* to, externT* to_end, externT*& to_next) const;
result do_in(stateT& state,
const externT* from, const externT* from_end, const externT*& from_next,
internT* to, internT* to_end, internT*& to_next) const;
Requires: (from<=from_end && to<=to_end) well-defined and true; state initialized, if at the beginning of a sequence, or else equal to the result of converting the preceding characters in the sequence.
Effects: Translates characters in the source range [from,from_end), placing the results in sequential positions starting at destination to. Converts no more than (from_end-from) source elements, and stores no more than (to_end-to) destination elements.
Stops if it encounters a character it cannot convert. It always leaves the from_next and to_next pointers pointing one beyond the last element successfully converted. If returns noconv, internT and externT are the same type and the converted sequence is identical to the input sequence [from, from_next). to_next is set equal to to, the value of state is unchanged, and there are no changes to the values in [to, to_end).
A codecvt facet that is used by basic_filebuf ([file.streams]) shall have the property that if
do_out(state, from, from_end, from_next, to, to_end, to_next)
would return ok, where from != from_end, then
do_out(state, from, from + 1, from_next, to, to_end, to_next)
shall also return ok, and that if
do_in(state, from, from_end, from_next, to, to_end, to_next)
would return ok, where to != to_end, then
do_in(state, from, from_end, from_next, to, to + 1, to_next)
shall also return ok.243 [ Note: As a result of operations on state, it can return ok or partial and set from_next == from and to_next != to. — end note ]
Remarks: Its operations on state are unspecified. [ Note: This argument can be used, for example, to maintain shift state, to specify conversion options (such as count only), or to identify a cache of seek offsets. — end note ]
Returns: An enumeration value, as summarized in Table [tab:localization.convert.result.values.out.in].
Value | Meaning |
ok | completed the conversion |
partial | not all source characters converted |
error | encountered a character in [from,from_end) that it could not convert |
noconv | internT and externT are the same type, and input sequence is identical to converted sequence |
A return value of partial, if (from_next==from_end), indicates that either the destination sequence has not absorbed all the available destination elements, or that additional source elements are needed before another destination element can be produced.
result do_unshift(stateT& state,
externT* to, externT* to_end, externT*& to_next) const;
Requires: (to <= to_end) well defined and true; state initialized, if at the beginning of a sequence, or else equal to the result of converting the preceding characters in the sequence.
Effects: Places characters starting at to that should be appended to terminate a sequence when the current stateT is given by state.244 Stores no more than (to_end-to) destination elements, and leaves the to_next pointer pointing one beyond the last element successfully stored.
Returns: An enumeration value, as summarized in Table [tab:localization.convert.result.values.unshift].
Value | Meaning |
ok | completed the sequence |
partial | space for more than to_end-to destination elements was needed to terminate a sequence given the value of state |
error | an unspecified error has occurred |
noconv | no termination is needed for this state_type |
int do_encoding() const noexcept;
Returns: -1 if the encoding of the externT sequence is state-dependent; else the constant number of externT characters needed to produce an internal character; or 0 if this number is not a constant.245
bool do_always_noconv() const noexcept;
Returns: true if do_in() and do_out() return noconv for all valid argument values. codecvt<char, char, mbstate_t> returns true.
int do_length(stateT& state, const externT* from, const externT* from_end,
size_t max) const;
Requires: (from<=from_end) well-defined and true; state initialized, if at the beginning of a sequence, or else equal to the result of converting the preceding characters in the sequence.
Effects: The effect on the state argument is “as if” it called do_in(state, from, from_end, from, to, to+max, to) for to pointing to a buffer of at least max elements.
Returns: (from_next-from) where from_next is the largest value in the range [from,from_end] such that the sequence of values in the range [from,from_next) represents max or fewer valid complete characters of type internT. The specialization codecvt<char, char, mbstate_t>, returns the lesser of max and (from_end-from).
int do_max_length() const noexcept;
Returns: The maximum value that do_length(state, from, from_end, 1) can return for any valid range [from, from_end) and stateT value state. The specialization codecvt<char, char, mbstate_t>::do_max_length() returns 1.
Informally, this means that basic_filebuf assumes that the mappings from internal to external characters is 1 to N: a codecvt facet that is used by basic_filebuf must be able to translate characters one internal character at a time.
Typically these will be characters to return the state to stateT()
If encoding() yields -1, then more than max_length() externT elements may be consumed when producing a single internT character, and additional externT elements may appear at the end of a sequence after those that yield the final internT character.
namespace std { template <class internT, class externT, class stateT> class codecvt_byname : public codecvt<internT, externT, stateT> { public: explicit codecvt_byname(const char*, size_t refs = 0); explicit codecvt_byname(const string&, size_t refs = 0); protected: ~codecvt_byname(); }; }
The classes num_get<> and num_put<> handle numeric formatting and parsing. Virtual functions are provided for several numeric types. Implementations may (but are not required to) delegate extraction of smaller types to extractors for larger types.246
All specifications of member functions for num_put and num_get in the subclauses of [category.numeric] only apply to the specializations required in Tables [tab:localization.category.facets] and [tab:localization.required.specializations] ([locale.category]), namely num_get<char>, num_get<wchar_t>, num_get<C, InputIterator>, num_put<char>, num_put<wchar_t>, and num_put<C,OutputIterator>. These specializations refer to the ios_base& argument for formatting specifications ([locale.categories]), and to its imbued locale for the numpunct<> facet to identify all numeric punctuation preferences, and also for the ctype<> facet to perform character classification.
Extractor and inserter members of the standard iostreams use num_get<> and num_put<> member functions for formatting and parsing numeric values ([istream.formatted.reqmts], [ostream.formatted.reqmts]).
Parsing "-1" correctly into, e.g., an unsigned short requires that the corresponding member get() at least extract the sign before delegating.

Effects: Reads characters from in, interpreting them according to str.flags(), use_facet<ctype<charT> >(loc), and use_facet< numpunct<charT> >(loc), where loc is str.getloc().
The details of the stages are presented below.
The function initializes local variables via
fmtflags flags = str .flags(); fmtflags basefield = (flags & ios_base::basefield); fmtflags uppercase = (flags & ios_base::uppercase); fmtflags boolalpha = (flags & ios_base::boolalpha);
For conversion to an integral type, the function determines the integral conversion specifier as indicated in Table [tab:localization.integer.conversions.in]. The table is ordered. That is, the first line whose condition is true applies.
State | stdio equivalent |
basefield == oct | %o |
basefield == hex | %X |
basefield == 0 | %i |
signed integral type | %d |
unsigned integral type | %u |
For conversions to a floating type the specifier is %g.
For conversions to void* the specifier is %p.
A length modifier is added to the conversion specification, if needed, as indicated in Table [tab:localization.length.modifier.in].
Type | Length modifier |
short | h |
unsigned short | h |
long | l |
unsigned long | l |
long long | ll |
unsigned long long | ll |
double | l |
long double | L |
If in==end then stage 2 terminates. Otherwise a charT is taken from in and local variables are initialized as if by
char_type ct = *in ; char c = src[find(atoms, atoms + sizeof(src) - 1, ct) - atoms]; if (ct == use_facet<numpunct<charT> >(loc).decimal_point()) c = '.'; bool discard = ct == use_facet<numpunct<charT> >(loc).thousands_sep() && use_facet<numpunct<charT> >(loc).grouping().length() != 0;
where the values src and atoms are defined as if by:
static const char src[] = "0123456789abcdefxABCDEFX+-"; char_type atoms[sizeof(src)]; use_facet<ctype<charT> >(loc).widen(src, src + sizeof(src), atoms);
for this value of loc.
If discard is true, then if '.' has not yet been accumulated, then the position of the character is remembered, but the character is otherwise ignored. Otherwise, if '.' has already been accumulated, the character is discarded and Stage 2 terminates. If it is not discarded, then a check is made to determine if c is allowed as the next character of an input field of the conversion specifier returned by Stage 1. If so, it is accumulated.
If the character is either discarded or accumulated then in is advanced by ++in and processing returns to the beginning of stage 2.
The sequence of chars accumulated in stage 2 (the field) is converted to a numeric value by the rules of one of the functions declared in the header <cstdlib>:
For a signed integer value, the function strtoll.
For an unsigned integer value, the function strtoull.
For a floating-point value, the function strtold.
The numeric value to be stored can be one of:
zero, if the conversion function fails to convert the entire field. ios_base::failbit is assigned to err.
the most positive representable value, if the field represents a value too large positive to be represented in val. ios_base::failbit is assigned to err.
the most negative representable value or zero for an unsigned integer type, if the field represents a value too large negative to be represented in val. ios_base::failbit is assigned to err.
the converted value, otherwise.
The resultant numeric value is stored in val.
Digit grouping is checked. That is, the positions of discarded separators is examined for consistency with use_facet<numpunct<charT> >(loc).grouping(). If they are not consistent then ios_base::failbit is assigned to err.
In any case, if stage 2 processing was terminated by the test for in==end then err |=ios_base::eofbit is performed.
iter_type do_get(iter_type in, iter_type end, ios_base& str,
ios_base::iostate& err, bool& val) const;
Effects: If (str.flags()&ios_base::boolalpha)==0 then input proceeds as it would for a long except that if a value is being stored into val, the value is determined according to the following: If the value to be stored is 0 then false is stored. If the value is 1 then true is stored. Otherwise true is stored and ios_base::failbit is assigned to err.
Otherwise target sequences are determined “as if” by calling the members falsename() and truename() of the facet obtained by use_facet<numpunct<charT> >(str.getloc()). Successive characters in the range [in,end) (see [sequence.reqmts]) are obtained and matched against corresponding positions in the target sequences only as necessary to identify a unique match. The input iterator in is compared to end only when necessary to obtain a character. If a target sequence is uniquely matched, val is set to the corresponding value. Otherwise false is stored and ios_base::failbit is assigned to err.
The in iterator is always left pointing one position beyond the last character successfully matched. If val is set, then err is set to str.goodbit; or to str.eofbit if, when seeking another character to match, it is found that (in == end). If val is not set, then err is set to str.failbit; or to (str.failbit|str.eofbit) if the reason for the failure was that (in == end). [ Example: For targets true: "a" and false: "abb", the input sequence "a" yields val == true and err == str.eofbit; the input sequence "abc" yields err = str.failbit, with in ending at the 'c' element. For targets true: "1" and false: "0", the input sequence "1" yields val == true and err == str.goodbit. For empty targets (""), any input sequence yields err == str.failbit. — end example ]
Returns: in.

Effects: Writes characters to the sequence out, formatting val as desired. In the following description, a local variable initialized with
locale loc = str.getloc();
The details of this operation occur in several stages:
Stage 1: Determine a printf conversion specifier spec and determining the characters that would be printed by printf ([c.files]) given this conversion specifier for
printf(spec, val )
assuming that the current locale is the "C" locale.
Stage 2: Adjust the representation by converting each char determined by stage 1 to a charT using a conversion and values returned by members of use_facet< numpunct<charT> >(str.getloc())
Stage 3: Determine where padding is required.
Stage 4: Insert the sequence into the out.
Detailed descriptions of each stage follow.
Returns: out.
The first action of stage 1 is to determine a conversion specifier. The tables that describe this determination use the following local variables
fmtflags flags = str.flags() ; fmtflags basefield = (flags & (ios_base::basefield)); fmtflags uppercase = (flags & (ios_base::uppercase)); fmtflags floatfield = (flags & (ios_base::floatfield)); fmtflags showpos = (flags & (ios_base::showpos)); fmtflags showbase = (flags & (ios_base::showbase));
All tables used in describing stage 1 are ordered. That is, the first line whose condition is true applies. A line without a condition is the default behavior when none of the earlier lines apply.
For conversion from an integral type other than a character type, the function determines the integral conversion specifier as indicated in Table [tab:localization.integer.conversions.out].
State | stdio equivalent |
basefield == ios_base::oct | %o |
(basefield == ios_base::hex) && !uppercase | %x |
(basefield == ios_base::hex) | %X |
for a signed integral type | %d |
for an unsigned integral type | %u |
For conversion from a floating-point type, the function determines the floating-point conversion specifier as indicated in Table [tab:localization.fp.conversions.out].
State | stdio equivalent |
floatfield == ios_base::fixed | %f |
floatfield == ios_base::scientific && !uppercase | %e |
floatfield == ios_base::scientific | %E |
floatfield == (ios_base::fixed | ios_base::scientific) && !uppercase | %a |
floatfield == (ios_base::fixed | ios_base::scientific) | %A |
!uppercase | %g |
otherwise | %G |
For conversions from an integral or floating-point type a length modifier is added to the conversion specifier as indicated in Table [tab:localization.length.modifier.out].
Type | Length modifier |
long | l |
long long | ll |
unsigned long | l |
unsigned long long | ll |
long double | L |
otherwise | none |
The conversion specifier has the following optional additional qualifiers prepended as indicated in Table [tab:localization.numeric.conversions].
Type(s) | State | stdio equivalent |
an integral type | flags & showpos | + |
flags & showbase | # | |
a floating-point type | flags & showpos | + |
flags & showpoint | # |
For conversion from a floating-point type, if floatfield != (ios_base::fixed | ios_base::scientific), str.precision() is specified as precision in the conversion specification. Otherwise, no precision is specified. For conversion from void* the specifier is %p. The representations at the end of stage 1 consists of the char's that would be printed by a call of printf(s, val) where s is the conversion specifier determined above.
Any character c other than a decimal point(.) is converted to a charT via use_facet<ctype<charT> >(loc).widen( c )
A local variable punct is initialized via
const numpunct<charT>& punct = use_facet< numpunct<charT> >(str.getloc());
For arithmetic types, punct.thousands_sep() characters are inserted into the sequence as determined by the value returned by punct.do_grouping() using the method described in [facet.numpunct.virtuals] Decimal point characters(.) are replaced by punct.decimal_point()
A local variable is initialized as
fmtflags adjustfield= (flags & (ios_base::adjustfield));
The location of any padding247 is determined according to Table [tab:localization.fill.padding].
State | Location |
adjustfield == ios_base::left | pad after |
adjustfield == ios_base::right | pad before |
adjustfield == internal and a sign occurs in the representation | pad after the sign |
adjustfield == internal and representation after stage 1 began with 0x or 0X | pad after x or X |
otherwise | pad before |
If str.width() is nonzero and the number of charT's in the sequence after stage 2 is less than str.width(), then enough fill characters are added to the sequence at the position indicated for padding to bring the length of the sequence to str.width(). str.width(0) is called.
The sequence of charT's at the end of stage 3 are output via
*out++ = c
iter_type do_put(iter_type out, ios_base& str, char_type fill,
bool val) const;
Returns:
If
(str.flags() & ios_base::boolalpha) == 0
returns
do_put(out, str, fill,
(int)val),
otherwise obtains a string
s
as if by
string_type s = val ? use_facet<numpunct<charT>>(loc).truename() : use_facet<numpunct<charT>>(loc).falsename();
and then inserts each character c of s into out via *out++ = c and returns out.
The conversion specification #o generates a leading 0 which is not a padding character.

numpunct<> specifies numeric punctuation. The specializations required in Table [tab:localization.category.facets] ([locale.category]), namely numpunct<wchar_t> and numpunct<char>, provide classic "C" numeric formats, i.e., they contain information equivalent to that contained in the "C" locale or their wide character counterparts as if obtained by a call to widen.
The syntax for number formats is as follows, where digit represents the radix set specified by the fmtflags argument value, and thousands-sep and decimal-point are the results of corresponding numpunct<charT> members. Integer values have the format:
integer ::= [sign] units sign ::= plusminus plusminus ::= '+' | '-' units ::= digits [thousands-sep units] digits ::= digit [digits]
and floating-point values have:
floatval ::= [sign] units [decimal-point [digits]] [e [sign] digits] | [sign] decimal-point digits [e [sign] digits] e ::= 'e' | 'E'
where the number of digits between thousands-seps is as specified by do_grouping(). For parsing, if the digits portion contains no thousands-separators, no grouping constraint is applied.
char_type decimal_point() const;
Returns: do_decimal_point()
char_type thousands_sep() const;
Returns: do_thousands_sep()
Returns: do_grouping()
string_type truename() const;
string_type falsename() const;
Returns: do_truename() or do_falsename(), respectively.
char_type do_decimal_point() const;
Returns: A character for use as the decimal radix separator. The required specializations return '.' or L'.'.
char_type do_thousands_sep() const;
Returns: A character for use as the digit group separator. The required specializations return ',' or L','.
Returns: A basic_string<char> vec used as a vector of integer values, in which each element vec[i] represents the number of digits248 in the group at position i, starting with position 0 as the rightmost group. If vec.size() <= i, the number is the same as group (i-1); if (i<0 || vec[i]<=0 || vec[i]==CHAR_MAX), the size of the digit group is unlimited.
The required specializations return the empty string, indicating no grouping.
string_type do_truename() const;
string_type do_falsename() const;
Returns: A string representing the name of the boolean value true or false, respectively.
In the base class implementation these names are "true" and "false", or L"true" and L"false".
Thus, the string "\003" specifies groups of 3 digits each, and "3" probably indicates groups of 51 (!) digits each, because 51 is the ASCII value of "3".

The class collate<charT> provides features for use in the collation (comparison) and hashing of strings. A locale member function template, operator(), uses the collate facet to allow a locale to act directly as the predicate argument for standard algorithms (Clause [algorithms]) and containers operating on strings. The specializations required in Table [tab:localization.category.facets] ([locale.category]), namely collate<char> and collate<wchar_t>, apply lexicographic ordering ([alg.lex.comparison]).
Each function compares a string of characters *p in the range [low,high).

const charT* low2, const charT* high2) const;
Returns: do_compare(low1, high1, low2, high2)

int do_compare(const charT* low1, const charT* high1,

Returns: 1 if the first string is greater than the second, -1 if less, zero otherwise. The specializations required in Table [tab:localization.category.facets] ([locale.category]), namely collate<char> and collate<wchar_t>, implement a lexicographical comparison ([alg.lex.comparison]).
string_type do_transform(const charT* low, const charT* high) const;
Returns: A basic_string<charT> value that, compared lexicographically with the result of calling transform() on another string, yields the same result as calling do_compare() on the same two strings.249
long do_hash(const charT* low, const charT* high) const;
Returns: An integer value equal to the result of calling hash() on any other string for which do_compare() returns 0 (equal) when passed the two strings. [ Note: The probability that the result equals that for another string which does not compare equal should be very small, approaching (1.0/numeric_limits<unsigned long>::max()). — end note ]
This function is useful when one string is being compared to many other strings.

Templates time_get<charT,InputIterator> and time_put<charT,OutputIterator> provide date and time formatting and parsing. All specifications of member functions for time_put and time_get in the subclauses of [category.time] only apply to the specializations required in Tables [tab:localization.category.facets] and [tab:localization.required.specializations] ([locale.category]). Their members use their ios_base&, ios_base::iostate&, and fill arguments as described in ([locale.categories]), and the ctype<> facet, to determine formatting details.

time_get is used to parse a character sequence, extracting components of a time or date into a struct tm record. Each get member parses a format as produced by a corresponding format specifier to time_put<>::put. If the sequence being parsed matches the correct format, the corresponding members of the struct tm argument are set to the values used to produce the sequence; otherwise either an error is reported or unspecified values are assigned.250
If the end iterator is reached during parsing by any of the get() member functions, the member sets ios_base::eofbit in err.
In other words, user confirmation is required for reliable parsing of user-entered dates and times, but machine-generated formats can be parsed reliably. This allows parsers to be aggressive about interpreting user variations on standard formats.

Requires: [fmt,fmtend) shall be a valid range.
Effects: The function starts by evaluating err = ios_base::goodbit. It then enters a loop, reading zero or more characters from s at each iteration. Unless otherwise specified below, the loop terminates when the first of the following conditions holds:
The expression fmt == fmtend evaluates to true.
The expression err == ios_base::goodbit evaluates to false.
The expression s == end evaluates to true, in which case the function evaluates err = ios_base::eofbit | ios_base::failbit.
The next element of fmt is equal to '%', optionally followed by a modifier character, followed by a conversion specifier character, format, together forming a conversion specification valid for the ISO/IEC 9945 function strptime. If the number of elements in the range [fmt,fmtend) is not sufficient to unambiguously determine whether the conversion specification is complete and valid, the function evaluates err = ios_base::failbit. Otherwise, the function evaluates s = do_get(s, end, f, err, t, format, modifier), where the value of modifier is '\0' when the optional modifier is absent from the conversion specification. If err == ios_base::goodbit holds after the evaluation of the expression, the function increments fmt to point just past the end of the conversion specification and continues looping.
The expression isspace(*fmt, f.getloc()) evaluates to true, in which case the function first increments fmt until fmt == fmtend || !isspace(*fmt, f.getloc()) evaluates to true, then advances s until s == end || !isspace(*s, f.getloc()) is true, and finally resumes looping.
The next character read from s matches the element pointed to by fmt in a case-insensitive comparison, in which case the function evaluates ++fmt, ++s and continues looping. Otherwise, the function evaluates err = ios_base::failbit.
[ Note: The function uses the ctype<charT> facet installed in f's locale to determine valid whitespace characters. It is unspecified by what means the function performs case-insensitive comparison or whether multi-character sequences are considered while doing so. — end note ]
Returns: s
dateorder do_date_order() const;
Returns: An enumeration value indicating the preferred order of components for those date formats that are composed of day, month, and year.251 Returns no_order if the date format specified by 'x' contains other variable components (e.g., Julian day, week number, week day).
iter_type do_get_time(iter_type s, iter_type end, ios_base& str,
ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t) const;
Effects: Reads characters starting at s until it has extracted those struct tm members, and remaining format characters, used by time_put<>::put to produce the format specified by "%H:%M:%S", or until it encounters an error or end of sequence.
Returns: An iterator pointing immediately beyond the last character recognized as possibly part of a valid time.
iter_type do_get_date(iter_type s, iter_type end, ios_base& str,
ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t) const;
Effects: Reads characters starting at s until it has extracted those struct tm members and remaining format characters used by time_put<>::put to produce one of the following formats, or until it encounters an error. The format depends on the value returned by date_order() as shown in Table [tab:lib.locale.time.get.virtuals.dogetdate].
date_order() | Format |
no_order | "%m%d%y" |
dmy | "%d%m%y" |
mdy | "%m%d%y" |
ymd | "%y%m%d" |
ydm | "%y%d%m" |
Returns: An iterator pointing immediately beyond the last character recognized as possibly part of a valid date.
iter_type do_get_weekday(iter_type s, iter_type end, ios_base& str,
ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t) const;
iter_type do_get_monthname(iter_type s, iter_type end, ios_base& str,
ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t) const;
Effects: Reads characters starting at s until it has extracted the (perhaps abbreviated) name of a weekday or month. If it finds an abbreviation that is followed by characters that could match a full name, it continues reading until it matches the full name or fails. It sets the appropriate struct tm member accordingly.
Returns: An iterator pointing immediately beyond the last character recognized as part of a valid name.
iter_type do_get_year(iter_type s, iter_type end, ios_base& str,
ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t) const;
Returns: An iterator pointing immediately beyond the last character recognized as part of a valid year identifier.
iter_type do_get(iter_type s, iter_type end, ios_base& f,
ios_base::iostate& err, tm* t, char format, char modifier) const;
Requires: t shall point to an object.
Effects: The function starts by evaluating err = ios_base::goodbit. It then reads characters starting at s until it encounters an error, or until it has extracted and assigned those struct tm members, and any remaining format characters, corresponding to a conversion directive appropriate for the ISO/IEC 9945 function strptime, formed by concatenating '%', the modifier character, when non-NUL, and the format character. When the concatenation fails to yield a complete valid directive the function leaves the object pointed to by t unchanged and evaluates err |= ios_base::failbit. When s == end evaluates to true after reading a character the function evaluates err |= ios_base::eofbit.
For complex conversion directives such as %c, %x, or %X, or directives that involve the optional modifiers E or O, when the function is unable to unambiguously determine some or all struct tm members from the input sequence [s,end), it evaluates err |= ios_base::eofbit. In such cases the values of those struct tm members are unspecified and may be outside their valid range.
Remark: It is unspecified whether multiple calls to do_get() with the address of the same struct tm object will update the current contents of the object or simply overwrite its members. Portable programs must zero out the object before invoking the function.
Returns: An iterator pointing immediately beyond the last character recognized as possibly part of a valid input sequence for the given format and modifier.
This function is intended as a convenience only, for common formats, and may return no_order in valid locales.

const charT* pattern, const charT* pat_end) const;
iter_type put(iter_type s, ios_base& str, char_type fill, const tm* t,
char format, char modifier = 0) const;
Effects: The first form steps through the sequence from pattern to pat_end, identifying characters that are part of a format sequence. Each character that is not part of a format sequence is written to s immediately, and each format sequence, as it is identified, results in a call to do_put; thus, format elements and other characters are interleaved in the output in the order in which they appear in the pattern. Format sequences are identified by converting each character c to a char value as if by ct.narrow(c,0), where ct is a reference to ctype<charT> obtained from str.getloc(). The first character of each sequence is equal to '%', followed by an optional modifier character mod252 and a format specifier character spec as defined for the function strftime. If no modifier character is present, mod is zero. For each valid format sequence identified, calls do_put(s, str, fill, t, spec, mod).
The second form calls do_put(s, str, fill, t, format, modifier).
[ Note: The fill argument may be used in the implementation-defined formats or by derivations. A space character is a reasonable default for this argument. — end note ]
Returns: An iterator pointing immediately after the last character produced.
Although the C programming language defines no modifiers, most vendors do.
iter_type do_put(iter_type s, ios_base&, char_type fill, const tm* t,
char format, char modifier) const;
Effects: Formats the contents of the parameter t into characters placed on the output sequence s. Formatting is controlled by the parameters format and modifier, interpreted identically as the format specifiers in the string argument to the standard library function strftime()253, except that the sequence of characters produced for those specifiers that are described as depending on the C locale are instead implementation-defined.254
Returns: An iterator pointing immediately after the last character produced. [ Note: The fill argument may be used in the implementation-defined formats or by derivations. A space character is a reasonable default for this argument. — end note ]
Interpretation of the modifier argument is implementation-defined, but should follow POSIX conventions.
Implementations are encouraged to refer to other standards such as POSIX for these definitions.

These templates handle monetary formats. A template parameter indicates whether local or international monetary formats are to be used.
All specifications of member functions for money_put and money_get in the subclauses of [category.monetary] only apply to the specializations required in Tables [tab:localization.category.facets] and [tab:localization.required.specializations] ([locale.category]). Their members use their ios_base&, ios_base :: iostate&, and fill arguments as described in ([locale.categories]), and the moneypunct<> and ctype<> facets, to determine formatting details.
namespace std { template <class charT, class InputIterator = istreambuf_iterator<charT> > class money_get : public locale::facet { public: typedef charT char_type; typedef InputIterator iter_type; typedef basic_string<charT> string_type; explicit money_get(size_t refs = 0); iter_type get(iter_type s, iter_type end, bool intl, ios_base& f, ios_base::iostate& err, long double& units) const; iter_type get(iter_type s, iter_type end, bool intl, ios_base& f, ios_base::iostate& err, string_type& digits) const; static locale::id id; protected: ~money_get(); virtual iter_type do_get(iter_type, iter_type, bool, ios_base&, ios_base::iostate& err, long double& units) const; virtual iter_type do_get(iter_type, iter_type, bool, ios_base&, ios_base::iostate& err, string_type& digits) const; }; }

long double& quant) const;
iter_type get(s, iter_type end, bool intl, ios_base&f,
ios_base::iostate& err, string_type& quant) const;
Returns: do_get(s, end, intl, f, err, quant)
iter_type do_get(iter_type s, iter_type end, bool intl,

long double& units) const;
iter_type do_get(iter_type s, iter_type end, bool intl,
ios_base& str, ios_base::iostate& err,
string_type& digits) const;
Effects: Reads characters from s to parse and construct a monetary value according to the format specified by a moneypunct<charT,Intl> facet reference mp and the character mapping specified by a ctype<charT> facet reference ct obtained from the locale returned by str.getloc(), and str.flags(). If a valid sequence is recognized, does not change err; otherwise, sets err to (err|str.failbit), or (err|str.failbit|str.eofbit) if no more characters are available, and does not change units or digits. Uses the pattern returned by mp.neg_format() to parse all values. The result is returned as an integral value stored in units or as a sequence of digits possibly preceded by a minus sign (as produced by ct.widen(c) where c is '-' or in the range from '0' through '9', inclusive) stored in digits. [ Example: The sequence $1,056.23 in a common United States locale would yield, for units, 105623, or, for digits, "105623". — end example ] If mp.grouping() indicates that no thousands separators are permitted, any such characters are not read, and parsing is terminated at the point where they first appear. Otherwise, thousands separators are optional; if present, they are checked for correct placement only after all format components have been read.
Where money_base::space or money_base::none appears as the last element in the format pattern, no white space is consumed. Otherwise, where money_base::space appears in any of the initial elements of the format pattern, at least one white space character is required. Where money_base::none appears in any of the initial elements of the format pattern, white space is allowed but not required. If (str.flags() & str.showbase) is false, the currency symbol is optional and is consumed only if other characters are needed to complete the format; otherwise, the currency symbol is required.
If the first character (if any) in the string pos returned by mp.positive_sign() or the string neg returned by mp.negative_sign() is recognized in the position indicated by sign in the format pattern, it is consumed and any remaining characters in the string are required after all the other format components. [ Example: If showbase is off, then for a neg value of "()" and a currency symbol of "L", in "(100 L)" the "L" is consumed; but if neg is "-", the "L" in "-100 L" is not consumed. — end example ] If pos or neg is empty, the sign component is optional, and if no sign is detected, the result is given the sign that corresponds to the source of the empty string. Otherwise, the character in the indicated position must match the first character of pos or neg, and the result is given the corresponding sign. If the first character of pos is equal to the first character of neg, or if both strings are empty, the result is given a positive sign.
Digits in the numeric monetary component are extracted and placed in digits, or into a character buffer buf1 for conversion to produce a value for units, in the order in which they appear, preceded by a minus sign if and only if the result is negative. The value units is produced as if by255
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) buf2[i] = src[find(atoms, atoms+sizeof(src), buf1[i]) - atoms]; buf2[n] = 0; sscanf(buf2, "%Lf", &units);
where n is the number of characters placed in buf1, buf2 is a character buffer, and the values src and atoms are defined as if by
static const char src[] = "0123456789-"; charT atoms[sizeof(src)]; ct.widen(src, src + sizeof(src) - 1, atoms);
Returns: An iterator pointing immediately beyond the last character recognized as part of a valid monetary quantity.
The semantics here are different from ct.narrow.
namespace std { template <class charT, class OutputIterator = ostreambuf_iterator<charT> > class money_put : public locale::facet { public: typedef charT char_type; typedef OutputIterator iter_type; typedef basic_string<charT> string_type; explicit money_put(size_t refs = 0); iter_type put(iter_type s, bool intl, ios_base& f, char_type fill, long double units) const; iter_type put(iter_type s, bool intl, ios_base& f, char_type fill, const string_type& digits) const; static locale::id id; protected: ~money_put(); virtual iter_type do_put(iter_type, bool, ios_base&, char_type fill, long double units) const; virtual iter_type do_put(iter_type, bool, ios_base&, char_type fill, const string_type& digits) const; }; }

char_type fill, long double units) const;
iter_type do_put(iter_type s, bool intl, ios_base& str,
char_type fill, const string_type& digits) const;
Effects: Writes characters to s according to the format specified by a moneypunct<charT,Intl> facet reference mp and the character mapping specified by a ctype<charT> facet reference ct obtained from the locale returned by str.getloc(), and str.flags(). The argument units is transformed into a sequence of wide characters as if by
ct.widen(buf1, buf1 + sprintf(buf1, "%.0Lf", units), buf2)
for character buffers buf1 and buf2. If the first character in digits or buf2 is equal to ct.widen('-'), then the pattern used for formatting is the result of mp.neg_format(); otherwise the pattern is the result of mp.pos_format(). Digit characters are written, interspersed with any thousands separators and decimal point specified by the format, in the order they appear (after the optional leading minus sign) in digits or buf2. In digits, only the optional leading minus sign and the immediately subsequent digit characters (as classified according to ct) are used; any trailing characters (including digits appearing after a non-digit character) are ignored. Calls str.width(0).
Remarks: The currency symbol is generated if and only if (str.flags() & str.showbase) is nonzero. If the number of characters generated for the specified format is less than the value returned by str.width() on entry to the function, then copies of fill are inserted as necessary to pad to the specified width. For the value af equal to (str.flags() & str.adjustfield), if (af == str.internal) is true, the fill characters are placed where none or space appears in the formatting pattern; otherwise if (af == str.left) is true, they are placed after the other characters; otherwise, they are placed before the other characters. [ Note: It is possible, with some combinations of format patterns and flag values, to produce output that cannot be parsed using num_get<>::get. — end note ]
Returns: An iterator pointing immediately after the last character produced.
namespace std { class money_base { public: enum part { none, space, symbol, sign, value }; struct pattern { char field[4]; }; }; template <class charT, bool International = false> class moneypunct : public locale::facet, public money_base { public: typedef charT char_type; typedef basic_string<charT> string_type; explicit moneypunct(size_t refs = 0); charT decimal_point() const; charT thousands_sep() const; string grouping() const; string_type curr_symbol() const; string_type positive_sign() const; string_type negative_sign() const; int frac_digits() const; pattern pos_format() const; pattern neg_format() const; static locale::id id; static const bool intl = International; protected: ~moneypunct(); virtual charT do_decimal_point() const; virtual charT do_thousands_sep() const; virtual string do_grouping() const; virtual string_type do_curr_symbol() const; virtual string_type do_positive_sign() const; virtual string_type do_negative_sign() const; virtual int do_frac_digits() const; virtual pattern do_pos_format() const; virtual pattern do_neg_format() const; }; }
The moneypunct<> facet defines monetary formatting parameters used by money_get<> and money_put<>. A monetary format is a sequence of four components, specified by a pattern value p, such that the part value static_cast<part>(p.field[i]) determines the ith component of the format256 In the field member of a pattern object, each value symbol, sign, value, and either space or none appears exactly once. The value none, if present, is not first; the value space, if present, is neither first nor last.
Where none or space appears, white space is permitted in the format, except where none appears at the end, in which case no white space is permitted. The value space indicates that at least one space is required at that position. Where symbol appears, the sequence of characters returned by curr_symbol() is permitted, and can be required. Where sign appears, the first (if any) of the sequence of characters returned by positive_sign() or negative_sign() (respectively as the monetary value is non-negative or negative) is required. Any remaining characters of the sign sequence are required after all other format components. Where value appears, the absolute numeric monetary value is required.
The format of the numeric monetary value is a decimal number:
value ::= units [ decimal-point [ digits ]] | decimal-point digits
if frac_digits() returns a positive value, or
value ::= units
otherwise. The symbol decimal-point indicates the character returned by decimal_point(). The other symbols are defined as follows:
units ::= digits [ thousands-sep units ] digits ::= adigit [ digits ]
In the syntax specification, the symbol adigit is any of the values ct.widen(c) for c in the range '0' through '9', inclusive, and ct is a reference of type const ctype<charT>& obtained as described in the definitions of money_get<> and money_put<>. The symbol thousands-sep is the character returned by thousands_sep(). The space character used is the value ct.widen(' '). White space characters are those characters c for which ci.is(space,c) returns true. The number of digits required after the decimal point (if any) is exactly the value returned by frac_digits().
The placement of thousands-separator characters (if any) is determined by the value returned by grouping(), defined identically as the member numpunct<>::do_grouping().
An array of char, rather than an array of part, is specified for pattern::field purely for efficiency.
charT decimal_point() const; charT thousands_sep() const; string grouping() const; string_type curr_symbol() const; string_type positive_sign() const; string_type negative_sign() const; int frac_digits() const; pattern pos_format() const; pattern neg_format() const;
Each of these functions F returns the result of calling the corresponding virtual member function do_F().
charT do_decimal_point() const;
charT do_thousands_sep() const;
Returns: The digit group separator to use in case do_grouping() specifies a digit grouping pattern.258
Returns: A pattern defined identically as, but not necessarily equal to, the result of numpunct<charT>::do_grouping().259
string_type do_curr_symbol() const;
string_type do_positive_sign() const;
string_type do_negative_sign() const;
Returns: do_positive_sign() returns the string to use to indicate a positive monetary value;261 do_negative_sign() returns the string to use to indicate a negative value.
pattern do_pos_format() const;
pattern do_neg_format() const;
Returns: The specializations required in Table [tab:localization.required.specializations] ([locale.category]), namely moneypunct<char>, moneypunct<wchar_t>, moneypunct<char,true>, and moneypunct<wchar_t,true>, return an object of type pattern initialized to { symbol, sign, none, value }.263
In common U.S. locales this is '.'.
In common U.S. locales this is ','.
To specify grouping by 3s, the value is "\003" not "3".
For international specializations (second template parameter true) this is typically four characters long, usually three letters and a space.
This is usually the empty string.
In common U.S. locales, this is 2.
Note that the international symbol returned by do_curr_sym() usually contains a space, itself; for example, "USD ".

Class messages<charT> implements retrieval of strings from message catalogs.
namespace std { class messages_base { public: typedef unspecified signed integer type catalog; }; template <class charT> class messages : public locale::facet, public messages_base { public: typedef charT char_type; typedef basic_string<charT> string_type; explicit messages(size_t refs = 0); catalog open(const basic_string<char>& fn, const locale&) const; string_type get(catalog c, int set, int msgid, const string_type& dfault) const; void close(catalog c) const; static locale::id id; protected: ~messages(); virtual catalog do_open(const basic_string<char>&, const locale&) const; virtual string_type do_get(catalog, int set, int msgid, const string_type& dfault) const; virtual void do_close(catalog) const; }; }
Values of type messages_base::catalog usable as arguments to members get and close can be obtained only by calling member open.
catalog open(const basic_string<char>& name, const locale& loc) const;
Returns: do_open(name, loc).
string_type get(catalog cat, int set, int msgid,
const string_type& dfault) const;
Returns: do_get(cat, set, msgid, dfault).
void close(catalog cat) const;
Effects: Calls do_close(cat).
catalog do_open(const basic_string<char>& name,
const locale& loc) const;
Returns a value less than 0 if no such catalog can be opened.
Remarks: The locale argument loc is used for character set code conversion when retrieving messages, if needed.
string_type do_get(catalog cat, int set, int msgid,
const string_type& dfault) const;
Requires: cat shall be a catalog obtained from open() and not yet closed.
void do_close(catalog cat) const;
Requires: cat shall be a catalog obtained from open() and not yet closed.
Effects: Releases unspecified resources associated with cat.
Remarks: The limit on such resources, if any, is implementation-defined.
namespace std { template <class charT> class messages_byname : public messages<charT> { public: typedef messages_base::catalog catalog; typedef basic_string<charT> string_type; explicit messages_byname(const char*, size_t refs = 0); explicit messages_byname(const string&, size_t refs = 0); protected: ~messages_byname(); }; }
A C++ program may define facets to be added to a locale and used identically as the built-in facets. To create a new facet interface, C++ programs simply derive from locale::facet a class containing a static member: static locale::id id.
[ Note: The locale member function templates verify its type and storage class. — end note ]
[ Example: Traditional global localization is still easy:
#include <iostream> #include <locale> int main(int argc, char** argv) { using namespace std; locale::global(locale("")); // set the global locale // imbue it on all the std streams cin.imbue(locale()); cout.imbue(locale()); cerr.imbue(locale()); wcin.imbue(locale()); wcout.imbue(locale()); wcerr.imbue(locale()); return MyObject(argc, argv).doit(); }
— end example ]
[ Example: Greater flexibility is possible:
#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
int main() {
using namespace std;
cin.imbue(locale("")); // the user's preferred locale
cout.imbue(locale::classic());
double f;
while (cin >> f) cout << f << endl;
return (cin.fail() != 0);
}
In a European locale, with input 3.456,78, output is 3456.78. — end example ]
This can be important even for simple programs, which may need to write a data file in a fixed format, regardless of a user's preference.
[ Example: Here is an example of the use of locales in a library interface.
// file: Date.h
#include <iosfwd>
#include <string>
#include <locale>
class Date {
public:
Date(unsigned day, unsigned month, unsigned year);
std::string asString(const std::locale& = std::locale());
};
std::istream& operator>>(std::istream& s, Date& d);
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& s, Date d);
This example illustrates two architectural uses of class locale.
The first is as a default argument in Date::asString(), where the default is the global (presumably user-preferred) locale.
The second is in the operators << and >>, where a locale “hitchhikes” on another object, in this case a stream, to the point where it is needed.
// file: Date.C #include "Date" // includes <ctime> #include <sstream> std::string Date::asString(const std::locale& l) { using namespace std; ostringstream s; s.imbue(l); s << *this; return s.str(); } std::istream& operator>>(std::istream& s, Date& d) { using namespace std; istream::sentry cerberos(s); if (cerberos) { ios_base::iostate err = goodbit; struct tm t; use_facet< time_get<char> >(s.getloc()).get_date(s, 0, s, err, &t); if (!err) d = Date(t.tm_day, t.tm_mon + 1, t.tm_year + 1900); s.setstate(err); } return s; }
— end example ]
A locale object may be extended with a new facet simply by constructing it with an instance of a class derived from locale::facet. The only member a C++ program must define is the static member id, which identifies your class interface as a new facet.
[ Example: Classifying Japanese characters:
// file: <jctype> #include <locale> namespace My { using namespace std; class JCtype : public locale::facet { public: static locale::id id; // required for use as a new locale facet bool is_kanji (wchar_t c) const; JCtype() { } protected: ~JCtype() { } }; } // file: filt.C #include <iostream> #include <locale> #include "jctype" // above std::locale::id My::JCtype::id; // the static JCtype member declared above. int main() { using namespace std; typedef ctype<wchar_t> wctype; locale loc(locale(""), // the user's preferred locale ... new My::JCtype); // and a new feature ... wchar_t c = use_facet<wctype>(loc).widen('!'); if (!use_facet<My::JCtype>(loc).is_kanji(c)) cout << "no it isn't!" << endl; return 0; }
The new facet is used exactly like the built-in facets. — end example ]
[ Example: Replacing an existing facet is even easier. The code does not define a member id because it is reusing the numpunct<charT> facet interface:
// file: my_bool.C #include <iostream> #include <locale> #include <string> namespace My { using namespace std; typedef numpunct_byname<char> cnumpunct; class BoolNames : public cnumpunct { protected: string do_truename() const { return "Oui Oui!"; } string do_falsename() const { return "Mais Non!"; } ~BoolNames() { } public: BoolNames(const char* name) : cnumpunct(name) { } }; } int main(int argc, char** argv) { using namespace std; // make the user's preferred locale, except for... locale loc(locale(""), new My::BoolNames("")); cout.imbue(loc); cout << boolalpha << "Any arguments today? " << (argc > 1) << endl; return 0; }
— end example ]
