NAME¶

std::ispunct(std::locale) - std::ispunct(std::locale)

Synopsis¶

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

Checks if the given character is classified as an punctuation character by the given
locale's std::ctype facet.

Parameters¶

ch - character
loc - locale

Return value¶

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

Possible implementation¶

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

Example¶

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

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
int main()
{
const wchar_t c = L'\u214b'; // upside-down ampersand

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

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

Output:¶

isalpha('⅋', C locale) returned false
isalpha('⅋', Unicode locale) returned true
