NAME¶

std::basic_ios::imbue - std::basic_ios::imbue

Synopsis¶

std::locale imbue( const std::locale& loc );

Replaces the current locale. Effectively calls ios_base::imbue(loc) and if there is
an associated stream buffer (rdbuf() != 0), then calls rdbuf()->pubimbue(loc).

Parameters¶

loc - the new locale

Return value¶

The previous locale, as returned by ios_base::imbue(loc).

Exceptions¶

May throw implementation-defined exceptions.

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
#include <sstream>

int main()
{
std::istringstream iss;
iss.imbue(std::locale("en_US.UTF8"));

std::cout << "Current locale: " << iss.getloc().name() << '\n';

iss.imbue(std::locale());
std::cout << "Global locale : " << iss.getloc().name() << '\n';
}

Output:¶

Current locale: en_US.UTF8
Global locale : C
