Detailed Description

RWAnsiLocale implements the RWLocale interface. It encapsulates the C++ Standard Library locale, std::locale and adds functionality for date and time conversions. The C++ Standard Library std::locale provides localized representations of dates, numbers, and currencies. RWAnsiLocale offers a simple interface to std::locale so you can avoid working directly with std::locale facets. Additionally, RWAnsiLocale provides flexible conversions of strings to dates and times. While the C++ Standard Library std::locale accepts dates and times only in formats defined by the C++ Standard Library function std::strftime(), RWAnsiLocale accepts multiple date and time formats.

There are three ways to use an RWAnsiLocale object:

By passing the object to functions that expect one, such as RWDateTime::asString().
By using the object to specify a global locale using the static member function RWLocale::global(). This locale is then used as the default argument to functions that use a locale.
By imbuing a stream with the object, so that when an RWDateTime is written to a stream using operator<<(), the appropriate formatting is used automatically.

For a description of the static members of the RWLocale interface that operate on objects of type RWAnsiLocale, see the RWLocale class description.

Note: For both RWAnsiLocale and std::locale, the default global locale is the locale defined in the C Standard Library file <locale.h>.

Synopsis: #include <rw/locale.h> // for RWLocale

RWAnsiLocale loc; // sets loc to the current global locale

RWAnsiLocale loc(""); // sets loc to the default system locale

int main() {
  try {
    // Create an ansi locale object
    RWAnsiLocale frenchLoc(FRENCH_LOCALE_NAME);
 
    // Change global locale
    const RWLocale* previousLoc = RWLocale::global(&frenchLoc);
 
    // Print global locale name and the current time in a
    // locale specific format
    std::cout << RWLocale::global().locale_name() << ' '
              << RWDateTime::now().asString('c') << std::endl;
 
    // Restore the global locale
    RWLocale::global(previousLoc);
  } catch (...) {
    std::cout << "failed to create locale." << std::endl;
  }
 
  return 0;
}

Actual output will depend on the time the example is run, and on the platform.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ RWAnsiLocale() [1/5]

RWAnsiLocale::RWAnsiLocale ( const RWAnsiLocale & )

Copy constructor.

◆ RWAnsiLocale() [2/5]

RWAnsiLocale::RWAnsiLocale ( )

Constructs an RWAnsiLocale object with locale information extracted from the current C++ Standard Library global locale.

◆ RWAnsiLocale() [3/5]

RWAnsiLocale::RWAnsiLocale ( const char * localeName )

Constructs an RWAnsiLocale object using the locale name localeName.

Valid values for localeName are NULL, "", "C", and any value that is accepted by std::locale.

If the value for localeName is NULL, the required locale information is extracted from the current C++ Standard Library global locale. Otherwise, localeName is used to construct a C++ Standard Library std::locale object to be queried for the necessary locale information.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error If the locale name localeName is not recognized by std::locale.

◆ RWAnsiLocale() [4/5]

RWAnsiLocale::RWAnsiLocale ( const std::locale & )

Constructs an RWAnsiLocale object from a C++ Standard Library std::locale.

◆ ~RWAnsiLocale()

virtual RWAnsiLocale::~RWAnsiLocale ( )

virtual

Virtual destructor.

◆ RWAnsiLocale() [5/5]

RWAnsiLocale::RWAnsiLocale ( RWAnsiLocale && locale )

Move constructor. The constructed instance takes ownership of the data owned by locale.

Condition:: This method is available only on platforms with rvalue reference support.

Member Function Documentation

◆ asString() [1/6]

virtual RWCString RWAnsiLocale::asString	(	const struct tm *	ptm,
		char	format,
		const RWZone &	zone = RWZone::local() ) const

virtual

Converts components of the ptm object to a string, according to the format character. The meanings assigned to the format character are identical to those used in the C++ Standard Library function std::strftime(). The members of ptm are assumed to be set consistently.

See http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/chrono/c/strftime for a summary of std::strftime() formatting characters.

Implements RWLocale.

◆ asString() [2/6]

RWCString RWAnsiLocale::asString	(	const struct tm *	ptm,
		const char *	format,
		const RWZone &	zone = RWZone::local() ) const

Converts components of the tm struct object ptm to a string, according to the format string. Each format character in the format string must be preceded by %. Any characters not preceded by % are treated as ordinary characters which are returned unchanged. You may represent the special character % with %%. The meanings assigned to the format character are identical to those used in the C++ Standard Library function std::strftime(). The members of ptm are assumed to be set consistently.

See http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/chrono/c/strftime for a summary of std::strftime() formatting characters.

◆ asString() [3/6]

virtual RWCString RWAnsiLocale::asString	(	long double	val,
		int	precision = 10,
		bool	showpoint = 0 ) const

virtual

Converts the number val to a string (for example, "3,456").

◆ grouping()

virtual const RWCString & RWAnsiLocale::grouping ( ) const

virtual

Returns a string identifying the number of digits to be included in a numerical group. A group is simply the digits between adjacent thousand's separators.

Each character of the string is an integer that specifies the number of digits in a group, starting with the right most group.

If the value is equal to 0, the previous element is used repeatedly.
If the value is equal to CHAR_MAX, no further grouping is performed.

Example

"\3"       // Specifies the United States grouping system.
           // For example, "1,000,000". The "\00" acts as an
           // escape
