NAME

std::basic_ios<CharT,Traits>::imbue - std::basic_ios<CharT,Traits>::imbue

Synopsis

std::locale imbue( const std::locale& loc );

Replaces the current locale. Effectively calls ios_base::imbue(loc) and if there is an associated stream buffer (rdbuf() != 0), then calls rdbuf()->pubimbue(loc).

Parameters

loc - the new locale

Return value

The previous locale, as returned by ios_base::imbue(loc).

Exceptions

(none)

Example

// Run this code

  #include <iostream>
  #include <sstream>
  #include <locale>

  int main()
  {
      std::istringstream iss;
      iss.imbue(std::locale("en_US.UTF8"));

      std::cout << "Current locale: " << iss.getloc().name() << '\n';

      iss.imbue(std::locale());
      std::cout << "Global locale : " << iss.getloc().name() << '\n';
  }

Output:

  Current locale: en_US.UTF8
  Global locale : C
