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.
