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

std::locale::global: std::locale::global

NAME

std::locale::global - std::locale::global

Synopsis


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


Replaces the global C++ locale with loc, which means all future calls to the std::locale default constructor will now return a copy of loc. If loc has a name, also replaces the C locale as if by std::setlocale(LC_ALL, loc.name().c_str());. This function is the only way to modify the global C++ locale, which is otherwise equivalent to std::locale::classic() at program startup.

Parameters


loc - the new global C++ locale

Return value


The previous value of the global C++ locale.
