28.3.4 Standard locale categories [locale.categories]

28.3.4.1 General [locale.categories.general]

1
#
Each of the standard categories includes a family of facets.
Some of these implement formatting or parsing of a datum, for use by standard or users' iostream operators << and >>, as members put() and get(), respectively.
Each such member function takes an ios_base& argument whose members flags(), precision(), and width(), specify the format of the corresponding datum ([ios.base]).
Those functions which need to use other facets call its member getloc() to retrieve the locale imbued there.
Formatting facets use the character argument fill to fill out the specified width where necessary.
2
#
The put() members make no provision for error reporting.
(Any failures of the OutputIterator argument can be extracted from the returned iterator.)
The get() members take an ios_base​::​iostate& argument whose value they ignore, but set to ios_base​::​failbit in case of a parse error.
3
#
Within [locale.categories] it is unspecified whether one virtual function calls another virtual function.

28.3.4.2 The ctype category [category.ctype]

Class ctype encapsulates the C library <cctype> features.
istream members are required to use ctype<> for character classing during input parsing.

The specializations required in Table 86 ([locale.category]), namely ctype<char> and ctype<wchar_t>, implement character classing appropriate to the implementation's native character set.

28.3.4.2.2.2 ctype members [locale.ctype.members]

28.3.4.2.2.3 ctype virtual functions [locale.ctype.virtuals]

🔗
bool do_is(mask m, charT c) const; const charT* do_is(const charT* low, const charT* high, mask* vec) const;
1
#
Effects: Classifies a character or sequence of characters.
For each argument character, identifies a value M of type ctype_base​::​mask.
The second form identifies a value M of type ctype_base​::​mask for each *p where (low <= p && p < high), and places it into vec[p - low].
2
#
Returns: The first form returns the result of the expression (M & m) != 0; i.e., true if the character has the characteristics specified.
The second form returns high.
🔗
const charT* do_scan_is(mask m, const charT* low, const charT* high) const;
3
#
Effects: Locates a character in a buffer that conforms to a classification m.
4
#
Returns: The smallest pointer p in the range [low, high) such that is(m, *p) would return true; otherwise, returns high.
🔗
const charT* do_scan_not(mask m, const charT* low, const charT* high) const;
5
#
Effects: Locates a character in a buffer that fails to conform to a classification m.
6
#
Returns: The smallest pointer p, if any, in the range [low, high) such that is(m, *p) would return false; otherwise, returns high.
🔗
charT do_toupper(charT c) const; const charT* do_toupper(charT* low, const charT* high) const;
7
#
Effects: Converts a character or characters to upper case.
The second form replaces each character *p in the range [low, high) for which a corresponding upper-case character exists, with that character.
8
#
Returns: The first form returns the corresponding upper-case character if it is known to exist, or its argument if not.
The second form returns high.
🔗
charT do_tolower(charT c) const; const charT* do_tolower(charT* low, const charT* high) const;
9
#
Effects: Converts a character or characters to lower case.
The second form replaces each character *p in the range [low, high) and for which a corresponding lower-case character exists, with that character.
10
#
Returns: The first form returns the corresponding lower-case character if it is known to exist, or its argument if not.
The second form returns high.
🔗
charT do_widen(char c) const; const char* do_widen(const char* low, const char* high, charT* dest) const;
11
#
Effects: Applies the simplest reasonable transformation from a char value or sequence of char values to the corresponding charT value or values.220
The only characters for which unique transformations are required are those in the basic character set ([lex.charset]).
For any named ctype category with a ctype<char> facet ctc and valid ctype_base​::​mask value M, (ctc.​is(M, c) || !is(M, do_widen(c)) ) is true.221
The second form transforms each character *p in the range [low, high), placing the result in dest[p - low].
12
#
Returns: The first form returns the transformed value.
The second form returns high.
🔗
char do_narrow(charT c, char dfault) const; const charT* do_narrow(const charT* low, const charT* high, char dfault, char* dest) const;
13
#
Effects: Applies the simplest reasonable transformation from a charT value or sequence of charT values to the corresponding char value or values.
For any character c in the basic character set ([lex.charset]) the transformation is such that do_widen(do_narrow(c, 0)) == c
For any named ctype category with a ctype<char> facet ctc however, and ctype_base​::​mask value M, (is(M, c) || !ctc.is(M, do_narrow(c, dfault)) ) is true (unless do_narrow returns dfault).
In addition, for any digit character c, the expression (do_narrow(c, dfault) - '0') evaluates to the digit value of the character.
The second form transforms each character *p in the range [low, high), placing the result (or dfault if no simple transformation is readily available) in dest[p - low].
14
#
Returns: The first form returns the transformed value; or dfault if no mapping is readily available.
The second form returns high.
220)220)
The parameter c of do_widen is intended to accept values derived from character-literals for conversion to the locale's encoding.
221)221)
In other words, the transformed character is not a member of any character classification that c is not also a member of.

#
The class codecvt<internT, externT, stateT> is for use when converting from one character encoding to another, such as from wide characters to multibyte characters or between wide character encodings such as UTF-32 and EUC.
2
#
The stateT argument selects the pair of character encodings being mapped between.
3
#
The specializations required in Table 86 ([locale.category]) convert the implementation-defined native character set.
codecvt<char, char, mbstate_t> implements a degenerate conversion; it does not convert at all.
codecvt<wchar_t, char, mbstate_t> converts between the native character sets for ordinary and wide characters.
Specializations on mbstate_t perform conversion between encodings known to the library implementer.
Other encodings can be converted by specializing on a program-defined stateT type.
Objects of type stateT can contain any state that is useful to communicate to or from the specialized do_in or do_out members.

1
#
Preconditions: (from <= from_end && to <= to_end) is well-defined and true; state is initialized, if at the beginning of a sequence, or else is equal to the result of converting the preceding characters in the sequence.
2
#
Effects: Translates characters in the source range [from, from_end), placing the results in sequential positions starting at destination to.
Converts no more than (from_end - from) source elements, and stores no more than (to_end - to) destination elements.
3
#
Stops if it encounters a character it cannot convert.
It always leaves the from_next and to_next pointers pointing one beyond the last element successfully converted.
If it returns noconv, internT and externT are the same type, and the converted sequence is identical to the input sequence [from, from_next), to_next is set equal to to, the value of state is unchanged, and there are no changes to the values in [to, to_end).
4
#
A codecvt facet that is used by basic_filebuf ([file.streams]) shall have the property that if do_out(state, from, from_end, from_next, to, to_end, to_next) would return ok, where from != from_end, then do_out(state, from, from + 1, from_next, to, to_end, to_next) shall also return ok, and that if do_in(state, from, from_end, from_next, to, to_end, to_next) would return ok, where to != to_end, then do_in(state, from, from_end, from_next, to, to + 1, to_next) shall also return ok.223
[Note 1: 
As a result of operations on state, it can return ok or partial and set from_next == from and to_next != to.
— end note]
5
#
Returns: An enumeration value, as summarized in Table 88.
Table 88: do_in/do_out result values [tab:locale.codecvt.inout]
Value
Meaning
ok
completed the conversion
partial
not all source characters converted
error
encountered a character in [from, from_end) that cannot be converted
noconv
internT and externT are the same type, and input sequence is identical to converted sequence
A return value of partial, if (from_next == from_end), indicates that either the destination sequence has not absorbed all the available destination elements, or that additional source elements are needed before another destination element can be produced.
6
#
Remarks: Its operations on state are unspecified.
[Note 2: 
This argument can be used, for example, to maintain shift state, to specify conversion options (such as count only), or to identify a cache of seek offsets.

result do_unshift(stateT& state, externT* to, externT* to_end, externT*& to_next) const;
7
#
Preconditions: (to <= to_end) is well-defined and true; state is initialized, if at the beginning of a sequence, or else is equal to the result of converting the preceding characters in the sequence.
8
#
Effects: Places characters starting at to that should be appended to terminate a sequence when the current stateT is given by state.224
Stores no more than (to_end - to) destination elements, and leaves the to_next pointer pointing one beyond the last element successfully stored.
9
#
Returns: An enumeration value, as summarized in Table 89.
Table 89: do_unshift result values [tab:locale.codecvt.unshift]
Value
Meaning
ok
completed the sequence
partial
space for more than to_end - to destination elements was needed to terminate a sequence given the value of state
error
an unspecified error has occurred
noconv
no termination is needed for this state_type
🔗
int do_encoding() const noexcept;

🔗
bool do_always_noconv() const noexcept;
11
#
Returns: true if do_in() and do_out() return noconv for all valid argument values.
codecvt<char, char, mbstate_t> returns true.
🔗
int do_length(stateT& state, const externT* from, const externT* from_end, size_t max) const;
12
#
Preconditions: (from <= from_end) is well-defined and true; state is initialized, if at the beginning of a sequence, or else is equal to the result of converting the preceding characters in the sequence.
13
#
Effects: The effect on the state argument is as if it called do_in(state, from, from_end, from, to, to+max, to) for to pointing to a buffer of at least max elements.
14
#
Returns: (from_next-from) where from_next is the largest value in the range [from, from_end] such that the sequence of values in the range [from, from_next) represents max or fewer valid complete characters of type internT.
The specialization codecvt<char, char, mbstate_t>, returns the lesser of max and (from_end-from).
🔗
int do_max_length() const noexcept;
15
#
Returns: The maximum value that do_length(state, from, from_end, 1) can return for any valid range [from, from_end) and stateT value state.
The specialization codecvt<char, char, mbstate_t>​::​do_max_length() returns 1.
223)223)
Informally, this means that basic_filebuf assumes that the mappings from internal to external characters is 1 to N: that a codecvt facet that is used by basic_filebuf can translate characters one internal character at a time.
224)224)
Typically these will be characters to return the state to stateT().
225)225)
If encoding() yields -1, then more than max_length() externT elements can be consumed when producing a single internT character, and additional externT elements can appear at the end of a sequence after those that yield the final internT character.

28.3.4.3 The numeric category [category.numeric]

28.3.4.3.1 General [category.numeric.general]

1
#
The classes num_get<> and num_put<> handle numeric formatting and parsing.
Virtual functions are provided for several numeric types.
Implementations may (but are not required to) delegate extraction of smaller types to extractors for larger types.226
2
#
All specifications of member functions for num_put and num_get in the subclauses of [category.numeric] only apply to the specializations required in Tables 86 and 87 ([locale.category]), namely num_get<char>, num_get<wchar_t>, num_get<C, InputIterator>, num_put<char>, num_put<wchar_t>, and num_put<C, OutputIterator>.
These specializations refer to the ios_base& argument for formatting specifications ([locale.categories]), and to its imbued locale for the numpunct<> facet to identify all numeric punctuation preferences, and also for the ctype<> facet to perform character classification.
3
#
Extractor and inserter members of the standard iostreams use num_get<> and num_put<> member functions for formatting and parsing numeric values ([istream.formatted.reqmts], [ostream.formatted.reqmts]).

#
Effects: Reads characters from in, interpreting them according to str.flags(), use_facet<ctype<​charT>>(loc), and use_facet<numpunct<charT>>(loc), where loc is str.getloc().
2
#
The details of this operation occur in three stages:
  • (2.1)
    Stage 1: Determine a conversion specifier.
  • (2.2)
    Stage 2: Extract characters from in and determine a corresponding char value for the format expected by the conversion specification determined in stage 1.
  • (2.3)
    Stage 3: Store results.
3
#
The details of the stages are presented below.
  • Stage 1:
    The function initializes local variables via fmtflags flags = str.flags(); fmtflags basefield = (flags & ios_base::basefield); fmtflags uppercase = (flags & ios_base::uppercase); fmtflags boolalpha = (flags & ios_base::boolalpha);
    For conversion to an integral type, the function determines the integral conversion specifier as indicated in Table 90.
    The table is ordered.
    That is, the first line whose condition is true applies.
    Table 90: Integer conversions [tab:facet.num.get.int]
    State
    stdio equivalent
    basefield == oct
    %o
    basefield == hex
    %X
    basefield == 0
    %i
    signed integral type
    %d
    unsigned integral type
    %u
    For conversions to a floating-point type the specifier is %g.
    For conversions to void* the specifier is %p.
    A length modifier is added to the conversion specification, if needed, as indicated in Table 91.
    Table 91: Length modifier [tab:facet.num.get.length]
    Type
    Length modifier
    short
    h
    unsigned short

    unsigned long
    l
    long long
    ll
    unsigned long long
    ll
    double
    l
    long double
    L
  • Stage 2:
    If in == end then stage 2 terminates.
    Otherwise a charT is taken from in and local variables are initialized as if by char_type ct = *in; char c = src[find(atoms, atoms + sizeof(src) - 1, ct) - atoms]; if (ct == use_facet<numpunct<charT>>(loc).decimal_point()) c = '.'; bool discard = ct == use_facet<numpunct<charT>>(loc).thousands_sep() && use_facet<numpunct<charT>>(loc).grouping().length() != 0; where the values src and atoms are defined as if by: static const char src[] = "0123456789abcdefpxABCDEFPX+-"; char_type atoms[sizeof(src)]; use_facet<ctype<charT>>(loc).widen(src, src + sizeof(src), atoms); for this value of loc.
    If discard is true, then if '.' has not yet been accumulated, then the position of the character is remembered, but the character is otherwise ignored.
    Otherwise, if '.' has already been accumulated, the character is discarded and Stage 2 terminates.
    If it is not discarded, then a check is made to determine if c is allowed as the next character of an input field of the conversion specifier returned by Stage 1.
    If so, it is accumulated.
    If the character is either discarded or accumulated then in is advanced by ++in and processing returns to the beginning of stage 2.
    [Example 1: 
    Given an input sequence of "0x1a.bp+07p",
    • (3.2.1)
      if the conversion specifier returned by Stage 1 is %d, "0" is accumulated;
    • (3.2.2)
      if the conversion specifier returned by Stage 1 is %i, "0x1a" are accumulated;
    • (3.2.3)
      if the conversion specifier returned by Stage 1 is %g, "0x1a.bp+07" are accumulated.
    In all cases, the remainder is left in the input.
    — end example]
  • Stage 3:
    The sequence of chars accumulated in stage 2 (the field) is converted to a numeric value by the rules of one of the functions declared in the header <cstdlib>:
    • (3.3.1)
      For a signed integer value, the function strtoll.
    • (3.3.2)
      For an unsigned integer value, the function strtoull.
    • (3.3.3)
      For a float value, the function strtof.
    • (3.3.4)
      For a double value, the function strtod.
    • (3.3.5)
      For a long double value, the function strtold.
    The numeric value to be stored can be one of:
    • (3.3.6)
      zero, if the conversion function does not convert the entire field.
    • (3.3.7)
      the most positive (or negative) representable value, if the field to be converted to a signed integer type represents a value too large positive (or negative) to be represented in val.
    • (3.3.8)
      the most positive representable value, if the field to be converted to an unsigned integer type represents a value that cannot be represented in val.
    • (3.3.9)
      the converted value, otherwise.
    The resultant numeric value is stored in val.
    If the conversion function does not convert the entire field, or if the field represents a value outside the range of representable values, ios_base​::​failbit is assigned to err.
4
#
Digit grouping is checked.
That is, the positions of discarded separators are examined for consistency with use_facet<numpunct<charT>>(loc).grouping().
If they are not consistent then ios_base​::​failbit is assigned to err.
5
#
In any case, if stage 2 processing was terminated by the test for in == end then err |= ios_base​::​eofbit is performed.
🔗
iter_type do_get(iter_type in, iter_type end, ios_base& str, ios_base::iostate& err, bool& val) const;
6
#
Effects: If (str.flags()&ios_base​::​boolalpha) == 0 then input proceeds as it would for a long except that if a value is being stored into val, the value is determined according to the following: If the value to be stored is 0 then false is stored.
If the value is 1 then true is stored.
Otherwise true is stored and ios_base​::​failbit is assigned to err.
7
#
Otherwise target sequences are determined “as if” by calling the members falsename() and truename() of the facet obtained by use_facet<numpunct<charT>>(str.getloc()).
Successive characters in the range [in, end) (see [sequence.reqmts]) are obtained and matched against corresponding positions in the target sequences only as necessary to identify a unique match.
The input iterator in is compared to end only when necessary to obtain a character.
If a target sequence is uniquely matched, val is set to the corresponding value.
Otherwise false is stored and ios_base​::​failbit is assigned to err.
8
#
The in iterator is always left pointing one position beyond the last character successfully matched.
If val is set, then err is set to str.goodbit; or to str.eofbit if, when seeking another character to match, it is found that (in == end).
If val is not set, then err is set to str.failbit; or to (str.failbit|str.eofbit) if the reason for the failure was that (in == end).
[Example 2: 
For targets true: "a" and false: "abb", the input sequence "a" yields val == true and err == str.eofbit; the input sequence "abc" yields err = str.failbit, with in ending at the 'c' element.
For targets true: "1" and false: "0", the input sequence "1" yields val == true and err == str.goodbit.
For empty targets (""), any input sequence yields err == str.failbit.

5
#
  • Stage 1:
    The first action of stage 1 is to determine a conversion specifier.
    The tables that describe this determination use the following local variables
    fmtflags flags = str.flags(); fmtflags basefield = (flags & (ios_base::basefield)); fmtflags uppercase = (flags & (ios_base::uppercase)); fmtflags floatfield = (flags & (ios_base::floatfield)); fmtflags showpos = (flags & (ios_base::showpos)); fmtflags showbase = (flags & (ios_base::showbase)); fmtflags showpoint = (flags & (ios_base::showpoint));
    All tables used in describing stage 1 are ordered.
    That is, the first line whose condition is true applies.
    A line without a condition is the default behavior when none of the earlier lines apply.

    The representations at the end of stage 1 consists of the char's that would be printed by a call of printf(s, val) where s is the conversion specifier determined above.
  • Stage 2:
    Any character c other than a decimal point(.) is converted to a charT via use_facet<ctype<charT>>(loc).widen(c)
    A local variable punct is initialized via const numpunct<charT>& punct = use_facet<numpunct<charT>>(loc);
    For arithmetic types, punct.thousands_sep() characters are inserted into the sequence as determined by the value returned by punct.do_grouping() using the method described in [facet.numpunct.virtuals].
    Decimal point characters(.) are replaced by punct.decimal_point().
  • Stage 3:
    A local variable is initialized as fmtflags adjustfield = (flags & (ios_base::adjustfield));
    The location of any padding227 is determined according to Table 96.

    pad before
    If str.width() is nonzero and the number of charT's in the sequence after stage 2 is less than str.​width(), then enough fill characters are added to the sequence at the position indicated for padding to bring the length of the sequence to str.width().
    str.width(0) is called.

numpunct<> specifies numeric punctuation.
The specializations required in Table 86 ([locale.category]), namely numpunct<​wchar_t> and numpunct<char>, provide classic "C" numeric formats, i.e., they contain information equivalent to that contained in the "C" locale or their wide character counterparts as if obtained by a call to widen.

#
The syntax for number formats is as follows, where digit represents the radix set specified by the fmtflags argument value, and thousands-sep and decimal-point are the results of corresponding numpunct<charT> members.
Integer values have the format:
intval :
sign units
sign :
+
-
units :
digits
digits thousands-sep units
digits :
digit digits
and floating-point values have:
floatval :
sign units fractional exponent
sign decimal-point digits exponent
fractional :
decimal-point digits
exponent :
e sign digits
e :

E
where the number of digits between thousands-seps is as specified by do_grouping().
For parsing, if the digits portion contains no thousands-separators, no grouping constraint is applied.

Thus, the string "\003" specifies groups of 3 digits each, and "3" probably indicates groups of 51 (!) digits each, because 51 is the ASCII value of "3".

The class collate<charT> provides features for use in the collation (comparison) and hashing of strings.
A locale member function template, operator(), uses the collate facet to allow a locale to act directly as the predicate argument for standard algorithms ([algorithms]) and containers operating on strings.
The specializations required in Table 86 ([locale.category]), namely collate<char> and collate<wchar_t>, apply lexicographical ordering ([alg.lex.comparison]).

#
time_get is used to parse a character sequence, extracting components of a time or date into a tm object.
Each get member parses a format as produced by a corresponding format specifier to time_put<>​::​put.
If the sequence being parsed matches the correct format, the corresponding members of the tm argument are set to the values used to produce the sequence; otherwise either an error is reported or unspecified values are assigned.230
2
#
If the end iterator is reached during parsing by any of the get() member functions, the member sets ios_base​::​eofbit in err.
230)230)
In other words, user confirmation is required for reliable parsing of user-entered dates and times, but machine-generated formats can be parsed reliably.
This allows parsers to be aggressive about interpreting user variations on standard formats.

7
#
Preconditions: [fmt, fmtend) is a valid range.
8
#
Effects: The function starts by evaluating err = ios_base​::​goodbit.
It then enters a loop, reading zero or more characters from s at each iteration.
Unless otherwise specified below, the loop terminates when the first of the following conditions holds:
  • (8.1)
    The expression fmt == fmtend evaluates to true.
  • (8.2)
    The expression err == ios_base​::​goodbit evaluates to false.
  • (8.3)
    The expression s == end evaluates to true, in which case the function evaluates err = ios_base​::​eofbit | ios_base​::​failbit.
  • (8.4)
    The next element of fmt is equal to '%', optionally followed by a modifier character, followed by a conversion specifier character, format, together forming a conversion specification valid for the POSIX function strptime.
    If the number of elements in the range [fmt, fmtend) is not sufficient to unambiguously determine whether the conversion specification is complete and valid, the function evaluates err = ios_base​::​failbit.
    Otherwise, the function evaluates s = do_get(s, end, f, err, t, format, modifier), where the value of modifier is '\0' when the optional modifier is absent from the conversion specification.
    If err == ios_base​::​goodbit holds after the evaluation of the expression, the function increments fmt to point just past the end of the conversion specification and continues looping.
  • (8.5)
    The expression isspace(*fmt, f.getloc()) evaluates to true, in which case the function first increments fmt until fmt == fmtend || !isspace(*fmt, f.getloc()) evaluates to true, then advances s until s == end || !isspace(*s, f.getloc()) is true, and finally resumes looping.
  • (8.6)
    The next character read from s matches the element pointed to by fmt in a case-insensitive comparison, in which case the function evaluates ++fmt, ++s and continues looping.
    Otherwise, the function evaluates err = ios_base​::​failbit.

11
#
Preconditions: t points to an object.
12
#
Effects: The function starts by evaluating err = ios_base​::​goodbit.
It then reads characters starting at s until it encounters an error, or until it has extracted and assigned those tm members, and any remaining format characters, corresponding to a conversion specification appropriate for the POSIX function strptime, formed by concatenating '%', the modifier character, when non-NUL, and the format character.
When the concatenation fails to yield a complete valid directive the function leaves the object pointed to by t unchanged and evaluates err |= ios_base​::​failbit.
When s == end evaluates to true after reading a character the function evaluates err |= ios_base​::​eofbit.
13
#
For complex conversion specifications such as %c, %x, or %X, or conversion specifications that involve the optional modifiers E or O, when the function is unable to unambiguously determine some or all tm members from the input sequence [s, end), it evaluates err |= ios_base​::​eofbit.
In such cases the values of those tm members are unspecified and may be outside their valid range.
14
#
Returns: An iterator pointing immediately beyond the last character recognized as possibly part of a valid input sequence for the given format and modifier.
15
#
Remarks: It is unspecified whether multiple calls to do_get() with the address of the same tm object will update the current contents of the object or simply overwrite its members.
Portable programs should zero out the object before invoking the function.

1
#
Effects: The first form steps through the sequence from pattern to pat_end, identifying characters that are part of a format sequence.
Each character that is not part of a format sequence is written to s immediately, and each format sequence, as it is identified, results in a call to do_put; thus, format elements and other characters are interleaved in the output in the order in which they appear in the pattern.
Format sequences are identified by converting each character c to a char value as if by ct.narrow(c, 0), where ct is a reference to ctype<charT> obtained from str.getloc().
The first character of each sequence is equal to '%', followed by an optional modifier character mod232 and a format specifier character spec as defined for the function strftime.
If no modifier character is present, mod is zero.
For each valid format sequence identified, calls do_put(s, str, fill, t, spec, mod).
2
#
The second form calls do_put(s, str, fill, t, format, modifier).

[Note 1:

#
Effects: Reads characters from s to parse and construct a monetary value according to the format specified by a moneypunct<charT, Intl> facet reference mp and the character mapping specified by a ctype<charT> facet reference ct obtained from the locale returned by str.getloc(), and str.flags().
If a valid sequence is recognized, does not change err; otherwise, sets err to (err|str.failbit), or (err|str.failbit|str.eofbit) if no more characters are available, and does not change units or digits.
Uses the pattern returned by mp.neg_format() to parse all values.
The result is returned as an integral value stored in units or as a sequence of digits possibly preceded by a minus sign (as produced by ct.widen(c) where c is '-' or in the range from '0' through '9' (inclusive)) stored in digits.
[Example 1: 
The sequence $1,056.23 in a common United States locale would yield, for units, 105623, or, for digits, "105623".
— end example]
If mp.grouping() indicates that no thousands separators are permitted, any such characters are not read, and parsing is terminated at the point where they first appear.
Otherwise, thousands separators are optional; if present, they are checked for correct placement only after all format components have been read.
2
#
Where money_base​::​space or money_base​::​none appears as the last element in the format pattern, no whitespace is consumed.
Otherwise, where money_base​::​space appears in any of the initial elements of the format pattern, at least one whitespace character is required.
Where money_base​::​none appears in any of the initial elements of the format pattern, whitespace is allowed but not required.
If (str.flags() & str.showbase) is false, the currency symbol is optional and is consumed only if other characters are needed to complete the format; otherwise, the currency symbol is required.
3
#
If the first character (if any) in the string pos returned by mp.positive_sign() or the string neg returned by mp.negative_sign() is recognized in the position indicated by sign in the format pattern, it is consumed and any remaining characters in the string are required after all the other format components.
[Example 2: 
If showbase is off, then for a neg value of "()" and a currency symbol of "L", in "(100 L)" the "L" is consumed; but if neg is "-", the "L" in "-100 L" is not consumed.
— end example]
If pos or neg is empty, the sign component is optional, and if no sign is detected, the result is given the sign that corresponds to the source of the empty string.
Otherwise, the character in the indicated position must match the first character of pos or neg, and the result is given the corresponding sign.
If the first character of pos is equal to the first character of neg, or if both strings are empty, the result is given a positive sign.
4
#
Digits in the numeric monetary component are extracted and placed in digits, or into a character buffer buf1 for conversion to produce a value for units, in the order in which they appear, preceded by a minus sign if and only if the result is negative.
The value units is produced as if by233 for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) buf2[i] = src[find(atoms, atoms+sizeof(src), buf1[i]) - atoms]; buf2[n] = 0; sscanf(buf2, "%Lf", &units); where n is the number of characters placed in buf1, buf2 is a character buffer, and the values src and atoms are defined as if by static const char src[] = "0123456789-"; charT atoms[sizeof(src)]; ct.widen(src, src + sizeof(src) - 1, atoms);

#
Effects: Writes characters to s according to the format specified by a moneypunct<charT, Intl> facet reference mp and the character mapping specified by a ctype<charT> facet reference ct obtained from the locale returned by str.getloc(), and str.flags().
The argument units is transformed into a sequence of wide characters as if by ct.widen(buf1, buf1 + sprintf(buf1, "%.0Lf", units), buf2) for character buffers buf1 and buf2.
If the first character in digits or buf2 is equal to ct.widen('-'), then the pattern used for formatting is the result of mp.neg_format(); otherwise the pattern is the result of mp.pos_format().
Digit characters are written, interspersed with any thousands separators and decimal point specified by the format, in the order they appear (after the optional leading minus sign) in digits or buf2.
In digits, only the optional leading minus sign and the immediately subsequent digit characters (as classified according to ct) are used; any trailing characters (including digits appearing after a non-digit character) are ignored.
Calls str.width(0).
2
#
Returns: An iterator pointing immediately after the last character produced.
3
#
Remarks: The currency symbol is generated if and only if (str.flags() & str.showbase) is nonzero.
If the number of characters generated for the specified format is less than the value returned by str.width() on entry to the function, then copies of fill are inserted as necessary to pad to the specified width.
For the value af equal to (str.flags() & str.adjustfield), if (af == str.internal) is true, the fill characters are placed where none or space appears in the formatting pattern; otherwise if (af == str.left) is true, they are placed after the other characters; otherwise, they are placed before the other characters.
[Note 1: 
It is possible, with some combinations of format patterns and flag values, to produce output that cannot be parsed using num_get<>​::​get.

#
The moneypunct<> facet defines monetary formatting parameters used by money_get<> and money_put<>.
A monetary format is a sequence of four components, specified by a pattern value p, such that the part value static_cast<part>(p.field[i]) determines the component of the format234 In the field member of a pattern object, each value symbol, sign, value, and either space or none appears exactly once.
The value none, if present, is not first; the value space, if present, is neither first nor last.
2
#
Where none or space appears, whitespace is permitted in the format, except where none appears at the end, in which case no whitespace is permitted.
The value space indicates that at least one space is required at that position.
Where symbol appears, the sequence of characters returned by curr_symbol() is permitted, and can be required.
Where sign appears, the first (if any) of the sequence of characters returned by positive_sign() or negative_sign() (respectively as the monetary value is non-negative or negative) is required.
Any remaining characters of the sign sequence are required after all other format components.
Where value appears, the absolute numeric monetary value is required.
3
#
The format of the numeric monetary value is a decimal number:
value :
units fractional
decimal-point digits
fractional :
decimal-point digits
if frac_digits() returns a positive value, or
value :
units
otherwise.
The symbol decimal-point indicates the character returned by decimal_point().
The other symbols are defined as follows:
units :
digits
digits thousands-sep units
digits :
adigit digits
In the syntax specification, the symbol adigit is any of the values ct.widen(c) for c in the range '0' through '9' (inclusive) and ct is a reference of type const ctype<charT>& obtained as described in the definitions of money_get<> and money_put<>.
The symbol thousands-sep is the character returned by thousands_sep().
The space character used is the value ct.widen(' ').
Whitespace characters are those characters c for which ci.is(space, c) returns true.
The number of digits required after the decimal point (if any) is exactly the value returned by frac_digits().
4
#
The placement of thousands-separator characters (if any) is determined by the value returned by grouping(), defined identically as the member numpunct<>​::​do_grouping().
234)234)
An array of char, rather than an array of part, is specified for pattern​::​field purely for efficiency.
