NAME¶

std::messages_byname - std::messages_byname

Synopsis¶

Defined in header <locale>
template< class CharT >
class messages_byname : public std::messages<CharT>;

std::messages_byname is a std::messages facet which encapsulates retrieval of
strings from message catalogs of the locale specified at its construction.

Two specializations are provided by the standard library

Defined in header <locale>
std::messages_byname<char> narrow/multibyte message catalog access
std::messages_byname<wchar_t> wide string message catalog access

Member types¶

Member type Definition
catalog std::messages_base<CharT>::catalog
string_type std::basic_string<CharT>

Member functions¶

constructor constructs a new messages_byname facet
(public member function)
destructor destroys a messages_byname facet
(protected member function)

std::messages_byname::messages_byname

explicit messages_byname( const char* name, std::size_t refs = 0 );
explicit messages_byname( const std::string& name, std::size_t refs = (since C++11)
0 );

Constructs a new std::messages_byname facet for a locale with name.

refs is used for resource management: if refs == 0, the implementation destroys the
facet, when the last std::locale object holding it is destroyed. Otherwise, the
object is not destroyed.

Parameters¶

name - the name of the locale
refs - the number of references that link to the facet

std::messages_byname::~messages_byname

protected:
~messages_byname();

Destroys the facet.

Inherited from std::messages

Member functions¶

open invokes do_open
(public member function of std::messages<CharT>)
get invokes do_get
(public member function of std::messages<CharT>)
close invokes do_close
(public member function of std::messages<CharT>)

Protected member functions¶

do_open opens a named message catalog
[virtual] (virtual protected member function of std::messages<CharT>)
do_get retrieves a message from an open message catalog
[virtual] (virtual protected member function of std::messages<CharT>)
do_close closes a message catalog
[virtual] (virtual protected member function of std::messages<CharT>)

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>

void try_with(const std::locale& loc)
{
const std::messages<char>& facet = std::use_facet<std::messages<char> >(loc)
;
std::messages<char>::catalog cat = facet.open("sed", std::cout.getloc());
if(cat < 0 )
std::cout << "Could not open \"sed\" message catalog\n";
else
std::cout << "\"No match\" "
<< facet.get(cat, 0, 0, "No match") << '\n'
<< "\"Memory exhausted\" "
<< facet.get(cat, 0, 0, "Memory exhausted") << '\n';
facet.close(cat);
}
int main()
{
std::locale loc("en_US.utf8");
std::cout.imbue(loc);

try_with(std::locale(loc, new std::messages_byname<char>("de_DE.utf8")));
try_with(std::locale(loc, new std::messages_byname<char>("fr_FR.utf8")));
try_with(std::locale(loc, new std::messages_byname<char>("ja_JP.utf8")));
}

Possible output:¶

"No match" Keine Übereinstimmung
"Memory exhausted" Speicher erschöpft
"No match" Pas de concordance
"Memory exhausted" Mémoire épuisée
"No match" 照合しません
"Memory exhausted" メモリーが足りません
