The type of an event callback function.

Parameters

Event callbacks are user defined functions that get called during several ios_base and basic_ios functions, specifically imbue(), copyfmt(), and ~ios().

typedef _Ios_Fmtflags std::ios_base::fmtflags¶

This is a bitmask type. _Ios_Fmtflags is implementation-defined, but it is valid to perform bitwise operations on these values and expect the Right Thing to happen. Defined objects of type fmtflags are:

• boolalpha
• dec
• fixed
• hex
• internal
• left
• oct
• right
• scientific
• showbase
• showpoint
• showpos
• skipws
• unitbuf
• uppercase
• adjustfield
• basefield
• floatfield

typedef _Ios_Iostate std::ios_base::iostate¶

This is a bitmask type. _Ios_Iostate is implementation-defined, but it is valid to perform bitwise operations on these values and expect the Right Thing to happen. Defined objects of type iostate are:

• badbit
• eofbit
• failbit
• goodbit

typedef _Ios_Openmode std::ios_base::openmode¶

• app
• ate
• binary
• in
• out

typedef _Ios_Seekdir std::ios_base::seekdir¶

This is an enumerated type. _Ios_Seekdir is implementation-defined. Defined values of type seekdir are:

• beg
• cur, equivalent to SEEK_CUR in the C standard library.
• end, equivalent to SEEK_END in the C standard library.

enum std::ios_base::event¶

The set of events that may be passed to an event callback. erase_event is used during ~ios() and copyfmt(). imbue_event is used during imbue(). copyfmt_event is used during copyfmt().

virtual std::ios_base::~ios_base () [virtual]¶

Invokes each callback with erase_event. Destroys local storage.

Note that the ios_base object for the standard streams never gets destroyed. As a result, any callbacks registered with the standard streams will not get invoked with erase_event (unless copyfmt is used).

const locale& std::ios_base::_M_getloc () const [inline]¶

Locale access.

Returns

Like getloc above, but returns a reference instead of generating a copy.

Referenced by std::money_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get(), std::num_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get_date(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get_monthname(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get_time(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get_weekday(), std::num_put< _CharT, _OutIter >::do_put(), std::time_put< _CharT, _OutIter >::do_put(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::get(), and std::time_put< _CharT, _OutIter >::put().

fmtflags std::ios_base::flags () const [inline]¶

Access to format flags.

Returns

Referenced by std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::copyfmt(), std::num_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get(), std::num_put< _CharT, _OutIter >::do_put(), std::gamma_distribution< double >::operator()(), std::operator<<(), std::operator>>(), and std::__detail::operator>>().

fmtflags std::ios_base::flags (fmtflags __fmtfl) [inline]¶

Setting new format flags all at once.

Parameters

Returns

This function overwrites all the format flags with __fmtfl.

locale std::ios_base::getloc () const [inline]¶

Locale access.

Returns

If imbue(loc) has previously been called, then this function returns loc. Otherwise, it returns a copy of std::locale(), the global C++ locale.

Referenced by std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::copyfmt(), std::money_put< _CharT, _OutIter >::do_put(), and std::ws().

locale std::ios_base::imbue (const locale & __loc)¶

Setting a new locale.

Parameters

Returns

Sets the new locale for this stream, and then invokes each callback with imbue_event.

Referenced by std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::imbue().

long& std::ios_base::iword (int __ix) [inline]¶

Access to integer array.

Parameters

Returns

The iword function provides access to an array of integers that can be used for any purpose. The array grows as required to hold the supplied index. All integers in the array are initialized to 0.

The implementation reserves several indices. You should use xalloc to obtain an index that is safe to use. Also note that since the array can grow dynamically, it is not safe to hold onto the reference.

streamsize std::ios_base::precision () const [inline]¶

Flags access.

Returns

Be careful if you try to give a definition of precision here; see DR 189.

Referenced by std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::copyfmt(), and std::gamma_distribution< double >::operator()().

streamsize std::ios_base::precision (streamsize __prec) [inline]¶

Changing flags.

Parameters

Returns

void*& std::ios_base::pword (int __ix) [inline]¶

Access to void pointer array.

Parameters

Returns

The pword function provides access to an array of pointers that can be used for any purpose. The array grows as required to hold the supplied index. All pointers in the array are initialized to 0.

The implementation reserves several indices. You should use xalloc to obtain an index that is safe to use. Also note that since the array can grow dynamically, it is not safe to hold onto the reference.

void std::ios_base::register_callback (event_callback __fn, int __index)¶

Add the callback __fn with parameter __index.

Parameters

Registers a function as an event callback with an integer parameter to be passed to the function when invoked. Multiple copies of the function are allowed. If there are multiple callbacks, they are invoked in the order they were registered.

fmtflags std::ios_base::setf (fmtflags __fmtfl) [inline]¶

Setting new format flags.

Parameters

Returns

This function sets additional flags in format control. Flags that were previously set remain set.

Referenced by std::__detail::operator>>().

fmtflags std::ios_base::setf (fmtflags __fmtfl, fmtflags __mask) [inline]¶

Setting new format flags.

Parameters

Returns

This function clears mask in the format flags, then sets fmtfl & mask. An example mask is ios_base::adjustfield.

static bool std::ios_base::sync_with_stdio (bool __sync = true) [static]¶

Interaction with the standard C I/O objects.

Parameters

Returns

The synchronization referred to is only that between the standard C facilities (e.g., stdout) and the standard C++ objects (e.g., cout). User-declared streams are unaffected. See https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/fstreams.html#std.io.filestreams.binary

void std::ios_base::unsetf (fmtflags __mask) [inline]¶

Clearing format flags.

Parameters

This function clears __mask in the format flags.

streamsize std::ios_base::width () const [inline]¶

Flags access.

Returns

Minimum field width refers to the number of characters.

Referenced by std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::copyfmt(), and std::num_put< _CharT, _OutIter >::do_put().

streamsize std::ios_base::width (streamsize __wide) [inline]¶

Changing flags.

Parameters

Returns

static int std::ios_base::xalloc () [static]¶

Access to unique indices.

Returns

This function returns a unique integer every time it is called. It can be used for any purpose, but is primarily intended to be a unique index for the iword and pword functions. The expectation is that an application calls xalloc in order to obtain an index in the iword and pword arrays that can be used without fear of conflict.

The implementation maintains a static variable that is incremented and returned on each invocation. xalloc is guaranteed to return an index that is safe to use in the iword and pword arrays.

const fmtflags std::ios_base::adjustfield [static]¶
