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 ( ) throw ()

Default constructor.

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

Referenced by combine().

std::locale::locale ( const locale __other) throw ()

Copy constructor.

Constructs a copy of other.

Parameters:
__otherThe locale to copy.
std::locale::locale ( const char *  __s) [explicit]

Named locale constructor.

Constructs a copy of the named C library locale.

Parameters:
__sName of the locale to construct.
Exceptions:
std::runtime_errorif __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:
__baseThe locale to copy.
__sName of the locale to use facets from.
__catSet of categories defining the facets to use from __s.
Exceptions:
std::runtime_errorif __s is null or an undefined 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:
__baseThe locale to copy.
__addThe locale to use facets from.
__catSet 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:
__otherThe locale to copy.
__fThe facet to add in.

std::locale::~locale ( ) throw ()

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:
_FacetThe facet type to copy from other
Parameters:
__otherThe locale to copy from.
Returns:
Newly constructed locale.
Exceptions:
std::runtime_errorif __other has no facet of type _Facet.

Definition at line 63 of file locale_classes.tcc.

References locale().

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:
__locThe new locale to make global.
Returns:
Copy of the old global locale.

Return locale name.

Returns:
Locale name or "*" if unnamed.
bool std::locale::operator!= ( const locale __other) const throw () [inline]

Locale inequality.

Parameters:
__otherThe locale to compare against.
Returns:
! (*this == __other)

Definition at line 237 of file locale_classes.h.

References operator==().

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:
__s1First string to compare.
__s2Second string to compare.
Returns:
True if collate<_Char> facet compares __s1 < __s2, else false.
const locale& std::locale::operator= ( const locale __other) throw ()

Assignment operator.

Set this locale to be a copy of other.

Parameters:
__otherThe locale to copy.
Returns:
A reference to this locale.
bool std::locale::operator== ( const locale __other) const throw ()

Locale equality.

Parameters:
__otherThe 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.

Friends And Related Function Documentation

template<typename _Facet >
bool has_facet ( const locale ) throw () [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:
_FacetThe facet type to test the presence of.
Parameters:
__locThe locale to test.
Returns:
true if __loc contains a facet of type _Facet, else false.

Definition at line 103 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:
_FacetThe facet type to access.
Parameters:
__locThe locale to use.
Returns:
Reference to facet of type Facet.
Exceptions:
std::bad_castif __loc doesn't contain a facet of type _Facet.
