std::locale::classic (3) - Linux Manuals

std::locale::classic: std::locale::classic

NAME

std::locale::classic - std::locale::classic

Synopsis


Defined in header <locale>
static const locale& classic();


Obtains a reference to the C++ locale that implements the classic "C" locale semantics. This locale, unlike the global locale, cannot be altered.

Parameters


none

Return value


Returns a reference to the "C" locale.

Notes


Some of the standard-required facets, such as the UTF-8/UTF-32 conversion facet std::codecvt<char32_t, char, std::mbstate_t>, have no equivalents in the "C" locale, but they are nevertheless present in the locale returned by std::locale::classic(), as in any other locale constructed in a C++ program.
