std::toupper(std::locale)(3) C++ Standard Libary std::toupper(std::locale)(3)

NAME

std::toupper(std::locale) - std::toupper(std::locale)

Synopsis


Defined in header <locale>
template< class CharT >
CharT toupper( CharT ch, const locale& loc );


Converts the character ch to uppercase if possible, using the conversion rules
specified by the given locale's std::ctype facet.

Parameters


ch - character
loc - locale

Return value


Returns the uppercase form of ch if one is listed in the locale, otherwise returns
ch unchanged.

Notes


Only 1:1 character mapping can be performed by this function, e.g. the uppercase
form of 'ß' is (with some exceptions) the two-character string "SS", which cannot be
obtained by std::toupper.

Possible implementation


template<class CharT>
CharT toupper(CharT ch, const std::locale& loc)
{
return std::use_facet<std::ctype<CharT>>(loc).toupper(ch);
}

Example

// Run this code


#include <cwctype>
#include <iostream>
#include <locale>


int main()
{
wchar_t c = L'\u017f'; // Latin small letter Long S ('ſ')


std::cout << std::hex << std::showbase;


std::cout << "in the default locale, toupper(" << (std::wint_t)c << ") = "
<< (std::wint_t)std::toupper(c, std::locale()) << '\n';


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

Possible output:


in the default locale, toupper(0x17f) = 0x17f
in Unicode locale, toupper(0x17f) = 0x53
