Detailed Description

Container class for localization functionality.

The locale class is first a class wrapper for C library locales. It is also an extensible container for user-defined localization. A locale is a collection of facets that implement various localization features such as money, time, and number printing.

Constructing C++ locales does not change the C library locale.

This library supports efficient construction and copying of locales through a reference counting implementation of the locale class.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

std::locale::locale ()

Default constructor. Constructs a copy of the global locale. If no locale has been explicitly set, this is the C locale.

std::locale::locale (const locale & __other)

Copy constructor. Constructs a copy of other.

Parameters

__other The locale to copy.

std::locale::locale (const char * __s) [explicit]

Named locale constructor. Constructs a copy of the named C library locale.

Parameters

__s Name of the locale to construct.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error if __s is null or an undefined locale.

std::locale::locale (const locale & __base, const char * __s, category __cat)

Construct locale with facets from another locale. Constructs a copy of the locale base. The facets specified by cat are replaced with those from the locale named by s. If base is named, this locale instance will also be named.

Parameters

__base The locale to copy.
__s Name of the locale to use facets from.
__cat Set of categories defining the facets to use from __s.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error if __s is null or an undefined locale.

std::locale::locale (const std::string & __s) [inline], [explicit]

Named locale constructor. Constructs a copy of the named C library locale.

Parameters

__s Name of the locale to construct.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error if __s is an undefined locale.

Definition at line 163 of file locale.

std::locale::locale (const locale & __base, const std::string & __s, category __cat) [inline]

Construct locale with facets from another locale. Constructs a copy of the locale base. The facets specified by cat are replaced with those from the locale named by s. If base is named, this locale instance will also be named.

Parameters

__base The locale to copy.
__s Name of the locale to use facets from.
__cat Set of categories defining the facets to use from __s.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error if __s is an undefined locale.

Definition at line 177 of file locale.

std::locale::locale (const locale & __base, const locale & __add, category __cat)

Construct locale with facets from another locale. Constructs a copy of the locale base. The facets specified by cat are replaced with those from the locale add. If base and add are named, this locale instance will also be named.

Parameters

__base The locale to copy.
__add The locale to use facets from.
__cat Set of categories defining the facets to use from add.

template<typename _Facet > std::locale::locale (const locale & __other, _Facet * __f)

Construct locale with another facet. Constructs a copy of the locale __other. The facet __f is added to __other, replacing an existing facet of type Facet if there is one. If __f is null, this locale is a copy of __other.

Parameters

__other The locale to copy.
__f The facet to add in.

Definition at line 44 of file locale_classes.tcc.

std::locale::~locale ()

Locale destructor.

Member Function Documentation

static const locale & std::locale::classic () [static]

Return reference to the C locale.

template<typename _Facet > locale std::locale::combine (const locale & __other) const

Construct locale with another facet. Constructs and returns a new copy of this locale. Adds or replaces an existing facet of type Facet from the locale other into the new locale.

Template Parameters

_Facet The facet type to copy from other

Parameters

__other The locale to copy from.

Returns

Newly constructed locale.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error if __other has no facet of type _Facet.

Definition at line 62 of file locale_classes.tcc.

static locale std::locale::global (const locale & __loc) [static]

Set global locale. This function sets the global locale to the argument and returns a copy of the previous global locale. If the argument has a name, it will also call std::setlocale(LC_ALL, loc.name()).

Parameters

__loc The new locale to make global.

Returns

Copy of the old global locale.

string std::locale::name () const

Return locale name.

Returns

Locale name or '*' if unnamed.

template<typename _Char , typename _Traits , typename _Alloc > bool std::locale::operator() (const basic_string< _Char, _Traits, _Alloc > & __s1, const basic_string< _Char, _Traits, _Alloc > & __s2) const

Compare two strings according to collate. Template operator to compare two strings using the compare function of the collate facet in this locale. One use is to provide the locale to the sort function. For example, a vector v of strings could be sorted according to locale loc by doing:

std::sort(v.begin(), v.end(), loc);

Parameters

__s1 First string to compare.
__s2 Second string to compare.

Returns

True if collate<_Char> facet compares __s1 < __s2, else false.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits , typename _Alloc > bool std::locale::operator() (const basic_string< _CharT, _Traits, _Alloc > & __s1, const basic_string< _CharT, _Traits, _Alloc > & __s2) const

Definition at line 80 of file locale_classes.tcc.

const locale & std::locale::operator= (const locale & __other)

Assignment operator. Set this locale to be a copy of other.

Parameters

__other The locale to copy.

Returns

A reference to this locale.

bool std::locale::operator== (const locale & __other) const

Locale equality.

Parameters

__other The locale to compare against.

Returns

True if other and this refer to the same locale instance, are copies, or have the same name. False otherwise.

template<typename _Facet > bool has_facet (const locale &) [friend]

Test for the presence of a facet. has_facet tests the locale argument for the presence of the facet type provided as the template parameter. Facets derived from the facet parameter will also return true.

Template Parameters

_Facet The facet type to test the presence of.

Parameters

__loc The locale to test.

Returns

true if __loc contains a facet of type _Facet, else false.

Definition at line 104 of file locale_classes.tcc.

template<typename _Facet > const _Facet & use_facet (const locale &) [friend]

Return a facet. use_facet looks for and returns a reference to a facet of type Facet where Facet is the template parameter. If has_facet(locale) is true, there is a suitable facet to return. It throws std::bad_cast if the locale doesn't contain a facet of type Facet.

Template Parameters

_Facet The facet type to access.

Parameters

__loc The locale to use.

Returns

Reference to facet of type Facet.

Exceptions

std::bad_cast if __loc doesn't contain a facet of type _Facet.
