Std::isalpha(std::locale) (3) Linux Manual Page

std::isalpha(std::locale) – std::isalpha(std::locale)

Synopsis

Defined in header<locale>

    template <class charT>

    bool isalpha(charT ch, const locale &loc);

Checks if the given character is classified as an alphabetic character by the given locale’s std::ctype facet.

Parameters

ch – character
loc – locale

Return value

Returns true if the character is classified as alphabetic, false otherwise.

Possible implementation

  template< class charT >
  bool isalpha( charT ch, const std::locale& loc ) {
      return std::use_facet<std::ctype<charT>>(loc).is(std::ctype_base::alpha, ch);
  }

Example

Demonstrates the use of isalpha() with different locales (OS-specific).
// Run this code

#include <iostream>

#include <locale>

int main()

{
    const wchar_t c = L'\u042f'; // cyrillic capital letter ya
    std::locale loc1("C");
    std::cout << "isalpha('Я', C locale) returned "
              << std::boolalpha << std::isalpha(c, loc1) << '\n';
    std::locale loc2("en_US.UTF8");
    std::cout << "isalpha('Я', Unicode locale) returned "
              << std::boolalpha << std::isalpha(c, loc2) << '\n';
}

Output:

isalpha(‘Я’, C locale) returned false
isalpha(‘Я’, Unicode locale) returned true
