NAME¶

std::messages::~messages - std::messages::~messages

Synopsis¶

Defined in header <locale>
protected: ~messages();

Destructs a std::messages facet. This destructor is protected and virtual (due to
base class destructor being virtual). An object of type std::messages, like most
facets, can only be destroyed when the last std::locale object that implements this
facet goes out of scope or if a user-defined class is derived from std::messages and
implements a public destructor.

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>

struct Destructible_messages : public std::messages<wchar_t>
{
Destructible_messages(std::size_t refs = 0) : messages(refs) {}
// note: the implicit destructor is public
};

int main()
{
Destructible_messages dc;
// std::messages<wchar_t> c; // compile error: protected destructor
}
