NAME¶

std::isprint(std::locale) - std::isprint(std::locale)

Synopsis¶

Defined in header <locale>
template< class CharT >
bool isprint( CharT ch, const locale& loc );

Checks if the given character is classified as a printable character (including
space) by the given locale's std::ctype facet.

Parameters¶

ch - character
loc - locale

Return value¶

Returns true if the character is classified as printable, false otherwise.

Possible implementation¶

template<class CharT>
bool isprint(CharT ch, const std::locale& loc)
{
return std::use_facet<std::ctype<CharT>>(loc).is(std::ctype_base::print, ch);
}

Example¶

Demonstrates the use of isprint() with different locales (OS-specific).

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>

int main()
{
const wchar_t c = L'\u2122'; // trademark sign

std::locale loc1("C");
std::cout << "isprint('™', C locale) returned "
<< std::boolalpha << std::isprint(c, loc1) << '\n';

std::locale loc2("en_US.UTF-8");
std::cout << "isprint('™', Unicode locale) returned "
<< std::boolalpha << std::isprint(c, loc2) << '\n';
}

Possible output:¶

isprint('™', C locale) returned false
isprint('™', Unicode locale) returned true
