Detailed Description

The base of the I/O class hierarchy.

This class defines everything that can be defined about I/O that does not depend on the type of characters being input or output. Most people will only see ios_base when they need to specify the full name of the various I/O flags (e.g., the openmodes).

Definition at line 201 of file ios_base.h.

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef void(* std::ios_base::event_callback)(event, ios_base &, int)

The type of an event callback function.

Parameters

event	One of the members of the event enum.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum std::ios_base::event

The set of events that may be passed to an event callback.

erase_event is used during ~ios() and copyfmt(). imbue_event is used during imbue(). copyfmt_event is used during copyfmt().

Definition at line 421 of file ios_base.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual std::ios_base::~ios_base ( )

virtual

Invokes each callback with erase_event. Destroys local storage.

Note that the ios_base object for the standard streams never gets destroyed. As a result, any callbacks registered with the standard streams will not get invoked with erase_event (unless copyfmt is used).

Member Function Documentation

const locale& std::ios_base::_M_getloc ( ) const

inline

Locale access.

Returns: A reference to the current locale.

Like getloc above, but returns a reference instead of generating a copy.

Definition at line 708 of file ios_base.h.

Referenced by std::money_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get(), std::num_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get_date(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get_monthname(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get_time(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get_weekday(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get_year(), std::time_put< _CharT, _OutIter >::do_put(), std::num_put< _CharT, _OutIter >::do_put(), and std::time_put< _CharT, _OutIter >::put().

fmtflags std::ios_base::flags ( ) const

inline

Access to format flags.

Returns: The format control flags for both input and output.

Definition at line 553 of file ios_base.h.

Referenced by std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::copyfmt(), std::num_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get(), std::num_put< _CharT, _OutIter >::do_put(), std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::operator<<(), std::operator<<(), std::operator>>(), and std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::sentry::sentry().

fmtflags std::ios_base::flags ( fmtflags __fmtfl )

inline

Setting new format flags all at once.

Parameters

fmtfl The new flags to set.

Returns: The previous format control flags.

This function overwrites all the format flags with fmtfl.

Definition at line 564 of file ios_base.h.

locale std::ios_base::getloc ( ) const

inline

Locale access.

Returns: A copy of the current locale.

If imbue(loc) has previously been called, then this function returns loc. Otherwise, it returns a copy of std::locale(), the global C++ locale.

Definition at line 697 of file ios_base.h.

Referenced by std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::copyfmt(), std::money_put< _CharT, _OutIter >::do_put(), std::operator>>(), and std::ws().

locale std::ios_base::imbue	(	const locale &	__loc	)
throw	(
	)

Setting a new locale.

Parameters

loc	The new locale.

Returns: The previous locale.

Sets the new locale for this stream, and then invokes each callback with imbue_event.

Referenced by std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::imbue().

long& std::ios_base::iword ( int __ix )

inline

Access to integer array.

Parameters

__ix	Index into the array.

Returns: A reference to an integer associated with the index.

The iword function provides access to an array of integers that can be used for any purpose. The array grows as required to hold the supplied index. All integers in the array are initialized to 0.

The implementation reserves several indices. You should use xalloc to obtain an index that is safe to use. Also note that since the array can grow dynamically, it is not safe to hold onto the reference.

Definition at line 743 of file ios_base.h.

streamsize std::ios_base::precision ( ) const

inline

Flags access.

Returns: The precision to generate on certain output operations.

Be careful if you try to give a definition of precision here; see DR 189.

Definition at line 623 of file ios_base.h.

Referenced by std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::copyfmt(), and std::operator<<().

streamsize std::ios_base::precision ( streamsize __prec )

inline

Changing flags.

Parameters

prec	The new precision value.

Returns: The previous value of precision().

Definition at line 632 of file ios_base.h.

void*& std::ios_base::pword ( int __ix )

inline

Access to void pointer array.

Parameters

__ix	Index into the array.

Returns: A reference to a void* associated with the index.

The pword function provides access to an array of pointers that can be used for any purpose. The array grows as required to hold the supplied index. All pointers in the array are initialized to 0.

The implementation reserves several indices. You should use xalloc to obtain an index that is safe to use. Also note that since the array can grow dynamically, it is not safe to hold onto the reference.

Definition at line 764 of file ios_base.h.

void std::ios_base::register_callback	(	event_callback	__fn,
		int	__index
	)

Add the callback __fn with parameter __index.

Parameters

__fn	The function to add.
__index	The integer to pass to the function when invoked.

Registers a function as an event callback with an integer parameter to be passed to the function when invoked. Multiple copies of the function are allowed. If there are multiple callbacks, they are invoked in the order they were registered.

fmtflags std::ios_base::setf ( fmtflags __fmtfl )

inline

Setting new format flags.

Parameters

fmtfl Additional flags to set.

Returns: The previous format control flags.

This function sets additional flags in format control. Flags that were previously set remain set.

Definition at line 580 of file ios_base.h.

Referenced by std::dec(), std::fixed(), std::hex(), std::left(), std::oct(), std::right(), std::scientific(), std::showbase(), std::showpoint(), std::showpos(), std::skipws(), std::unitbuf(), and std::uppercase().

fmtflags std::ios_base::setf	(	fmtflags	__fmtfl,
		fmtflags	__mask
	)

inline

Setting new format flags.

Parameters

fmtfl	Additional flags to set.
mask	The flags mask for fmtfl.

Returns: The previous format control flags.

This function clears mask in the format flags, then sets fmtfl & mask. An example mask is ios_base::adjustfield.

Definition at line 597 of file ios_base.h.

static bool std::ios_base::sync_with_stdio ( bool __sync = true )

static

Interaction with the standard C I/O objects.

Parameters

sync	Whether to synchronize or not.

Returns: True if the standard streams were previously synchronized.

The synchronization referred to is only that between the standard C facilities (e.g., stdout) and the standard C++ objects (e.g., cout). User-declared streams are unaffected. See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/bk01pt11ch28s02.html

void std::ios_base::unsetf ( fmtflags __mask )

inline

Clearing format flags.

Parameters

mask	The flags to unset.

This function clears mask in the format flags.

Definition at line 612 of file ios_base.h.

Referenced by std::noboolalpha(), std::noshowbase(), std::noshowpoint(), std::noshowpos(), std::noskipws(), std::nounitbuf(), and std::nouppercase().

streamsize std::ios_base::width ( ) const

inline

Flags access.

Returns: The minimum field width to generate on output operations.

Minimum field width refers to the number of characters.

Definition at line 646 of file ios_base.h.

Referenced by std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::copyfmt(), std::num_put< _CharT, _OutIter >::do_put(), and std::operator>>().

streamsize std::ios_base::width ( streamsize __wide )

inline

Changing flags.

Parameters

wide	The new width value.

Returns: The previous value of width().

Definition at line 655 of file ios_base.h.

static int std::ios_base::xalloc	(	)
throw	(
	)

static

Access to unique indices.

Returns: An integer different from all previous calls.

This function returns a unique integer every time it is called. It can be used for any purpose, but is primarily intended to be a unique index for the iword and pword functions. The expectation is that an application calls xalloc in order to obtain an index in the iword and pword arrays that can be used without fear of conflict.

The implementation maintains a static variable that is incremented and returned on each invocation. xalloc is guaranteed to return an index that is safe to use in the iword and pword arrays.
