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 199 of file ios_base.h.

Member Typedef Documentation

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

The type of an event callback function.

Parameters
__eOne of the members of the event enum.
__bReference to the ios_base object.
__iThe integer provided when the callback was registered.

Event callbacks are user defined functions that get called during several ios_base and basic_ios functions, specifically imbue(), copyfmt(), and ~ios().

Definition at line 436 of file ios_base.h.

  • fixed
  • hex
  • internal
  • left
  • oct
  • right
  • scientific
  • showbase

typedef _Ios_Iostate std::ios_base::iostate

This is a bitmask type.

_Ios_Iostate is implementation-defined, but it is valid to perform bitwise operations on these values and expect the Right Thing to happen. Defined objects of type iostate are:

  • badbit
  • eofbit
  • failbit
  • goodbit

Definition at line 330 of file ios_base.h.

typedef _Ios_Openmode std::ios_base::openmode

  • beg
  • cur, equivalent to SEEK_CUR in the C standard library.
  • end, equivalent to SEEK_END in the C standard library.

Definition at line 393 of file ios_base.h.

Member Enumeration Documentation

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 419 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 706 of file ios_base.h.

fmtflags std::ios_base::flags ( ) const
inline

Access to format flags.

Returns
The format control flags for both input and output.

Definition at line 551 of file ios_base.h.

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

Setting new format flags all at once.

Parameters
__fmtflThe new flags to set.
Returns
The previous format control flags.

This function overwrites all the format flags with __fmtfl.

Definition at line 562 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 695 of file ios_base.h.

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

Setting a new locale.

Parameters
__locThe new locale.
Returns
The previous locale.

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

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

Access to integer array.

Parameters
__ixIndex 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 741 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 621 of file ios_base.h.

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

Changing flags.

Parameters
__precThe new precision value.
Returns
The previous value of precision().

Definition at line 630 of file ios_base.h.

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

Access to void pointer array.

Parameters
__ixIndex 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 762 of file ios_base.h.

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

Add the callback __fn with parameter __index.

Parameters
__fnThe function to add.
__indexThe 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
__fmtflAdditional 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 578 of file ios_base.h.

Referenced by std::boolalpha(), 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
__fmtflAdditional flags to set.
__maskThe 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 595 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
__syncWhether 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
__maskThe flags to unset.

This function clears __mask in the format flags.

Definition at line 610 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 644 of file ios_base.h.

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

Changing flags.

Parameters
__wideThe new width value.
Returns
The previous value of width().

Definition at line 653 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.
