Standard C++ Locales
|
The Standard C++ Library includes a framework for internationalisation
of C++ programs in form of locales and facets. The locale framework is
used by the standard stream I/O classes for internationalised I/O, but
is designed to be of more general use. The standard facets provide support
for culture dependent formats of date and time, monetary amounts, language-dependent
sorting of strings, and other culture-dependencies. In addition to the
standard facilities, the locale framework is extensible and can serve as
a vehicle for special-purpose culture-dependencies such as address formats,
shoe sizes, or temperature-, measure-, or currency conversions.
In this tutorial we will explore the standard facets and will learn
how to add user-defined internationalisation services to the standard locale
framework. |
