Synopsis
Defined in header <locale>
template< class CharT >
class messages_byname : public std::messages<CharT>;
std::messages_byname is a std::messages facet which encapsulates retrieval of strings from message catalogs of the locale specified at its construction.
Two specializations are provided by the standard library
Defined in header <locale>
std::messages_byname<char> narrow/multibyte message catalog access
std::messages_byname<wchar_t> wide string message catalog access

catalog std::messages_base<CharT>::catalog
string_type std::basic_string<CharT>
Member functions
constructor (public member function)
destructor (protected member function)
std::messages_byname::messages_byname
explicit messages_byname( const char* name, std::size_t refs = 0 );
explicit messages_byname( const std::string& name, std::size_t refs = 0 ); (since C++11)
Constructs a new std::messages_byname facet for a locale with name.
refs is used for resource management: if refs == 0, the implementation destroys the facet, when the last std::locale object holding it is destroyed. Otherwise, the object is not destroyed.
Parameters
name – the name of the locale
refs – the number of references that link to the facet
std::messages_byname::~messages_byname
protected:
~messages_byname();
Destroys the facet.
Inherited from std::messages

Example
// Run this code
#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
void try_with(const std::locale &loc)
{
const std::messages<char> &facet = std::use_facet<std::messages<char>>(loc)
;
std::messages<char>::catalog cat = facet.open("sed", std::cout.getloc());
if (cat < 0)
std::cout << "Could not open \"sed\" message catalog\n";
else
std::cout << "\"No match\" "
<< facet.get(cat, 0, 0, "No match") << '\n'
<< "\"Memory exhausted\" "
<< facet.get(cat, 0, 0, "Memory exhausted") << '\n';
facet.close(cat);
}
int main()
{
std::locale loc("en_US.utf8");
std::cout.imbue(loc);
try_with(std::locale(loc, new std::messages_byname<char>("de_DE.utf8")));
try_with(std::locale(loc, new std::messages_byname<char>("fr_FR.utf8")));
