std::basic_streambuf::sputbackc(3) | C++ Standard Libary | std::basic_streambuf::sputbackc(3) |
NAME¶
std::basic_streambuf::sputbackc - std::basic_streambuf::sputbackc
Synopsis¶
int_type sputbackc( char_type c );
Puts back a character back to the get area.
If a putback position is available in the get area (gptr() > eback()), and
the
character c is equal to the character one position to the left of gptr() (as
determined by Traits::eq(c, gptr()[-1]), then simply decrements the next
pointer
(gptr()).
Otherwise, calls pbackfail(Traits::to_int_type(c)) to either back up the get
area or
to modify both the get area and possibly the associated character
sequence.
The I/O stream function basic_istream::putback is implemented in terms of
this
function.
Parameters¶
c - character to put back
Return value¶
If putback position was available, returns the character that the
next pointer is
now pointing at, converted to int_type with Traits::to_int_type(*gptr()). The
next
single-character input from this streambuf will return this character.
If putback position was not available, returns what pbackfail() returns,
which is
Traits::eof() on failure.
Example¶
// Run this code
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
int main()
{
std::stringstream s("abcdef"); // gptr() points to 'a' in
"abcdef"
std::cout << "Before putback, string holds " << s.str()
<< '\n';
char c1 = s.get(); // c1 = 'a', gptr() now points to 'b' in
"abcdef"
char c2 = s.rdbuf()->sputbackc('z'); // same as s.putback('z')
// gptr() now points to 'z' in "zbcdef"
std::cout << "After putback, string holds " << s.str()
<< '\n';
char c3 = s.get(); // c3 = 'z', gptr() now points to 'b' in
"zbcdef"
char c4 = s.get(); // c4 = 'b', gptr() now points to 'c' in
"zbcdef"
std::cout << c1 << c2 << c3 << c4 << '\n';
s.rdbuf()->sputbackc('b'); // gptr() now points to 'b' in
"zbcdef"
s.rdbuf()->sputbackc('z'); // gptr() now points to 'z' in
"zbcdef"
int eof = s.rdbuf()->sputbackc('x'); // nothing to unget: pbackfail()
fails
if (eof == EOF)
std::cout << "No room to putback after 'z'\n";
}
Output:¶
Before putback, string holds abcdef
After putback, string holds zbcdef
azzb
No room to putback after 'z'
