std::iswalnum(3) C++ Standard Libary std::iswalnum(3)

NAME

std::iswalnum - std::iswalnum

Synopsis


Defined in header <cwctype>
int iswalnum( std::wint_t ch );


Checks if the given wide character is an alphanumeric character, i.e. either a
number (0123456789), an uppercase letter (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ), a lowercase
letter (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz) or any alphanumeric character specific to the
current locale.


If the value of ch is neither representable as a wchar_t nor equal to the value of
the macro WEOF, the behavior is undefined.

Parameters


ch - wide character

Return value


Non-zero value if the wide character is an alphanumeric character, zero otherwise.

Notes


ISO 30112 specifies which Unicode characters are included in the POSIX alnum
category.

Example

// Run this code


#include <clocale>
#include <cwctype>
#include <iostream>


int main()
{
wchar_t c = L'\u13ad'; // the Cherokee letter HA ('Ꭽ')


std::cout << std::hex << std::showbase << std::boolalpha;
std::cout << "in the default locale, iswalnum(" << (std::wint_t)c << ") = "
<< (bool)std::iswalnum(c) << '\n';


std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.utf8");
std::cout << "in Unicode locale, iswalnum(" << (std::wint_t)c << ") = "
<< (bool)std::iswalnum(c) << '\n';
}

Possible output:


in the default locale, iswalnum(0x13ad) = false
in Unicode locale, iswalnum(0x13ad) = true
