std::messages_byname

Defined in header <locale> 
template< class CharT >
class messages_byname : public std::messages<CharT>;

std::messages_byname is a std::messages facet which encapsulates retrieval of strings from message catalogs of the locale specified at its construction.

Two specializations are provided by the standard library.

Defined in header <locale>
std::messages_byname<char> narrow/multibyte message catalog access
std::messages_byname<wchar_t> wide string message catalog access

Member functions

(constructor)
 constructs a new messages_byname facet
(public member function)
(destructor)
 destroys a messages_byname facet
(protected member function)

std::messages_byname::messages_byname 

explicit messages_byname( const char* name, std::size_t refs = 0 );
 
explicit messages_byname( const std::string& name, std::size_t refs = 0 );
 (since C++11)

Constructs a new std::messages_byname facet for a locale with name.

refs is used for resource management: if refs == 0, the implementation destroys the facet, when the last std::locale object holding it is destroyed. Otherwise, the object is not destroyed.

Parameters

name - the name of the locale
refs - the number of references that link to the facet

std::messages_byname::~messages_byname 

protected:
~messages_byname();

Destroys the facet.

Inherited from std::messages

 opens a named message catalog
(virtual protected member function of std::messages<CharT>)

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
 
void try_with(const std::locale& loc)
{
    const std::messages<char>& facet = std::use_facet<std::messages<char> >(loc)
;
    std::messages<char>::catalog cat = facet.open("sed", std::cout.getloc());
    if(cat < 0 )
        std::cout << "Could not open \"sed\" message catalog\n";
    else
        std::cout << "\"No match\" "
                  << facet.get(cat, 0, 0, "No match") << '\n'
                  << "\"Memory exhausted\" " 
                  << facet.get(cat, 0, 0, "Memory exhausted") << '\n';
    facet.close(cat);
}
int main()
{
    std::locale loc("en_US.utf8");
    std::cout.imbue(loc);
 
    try_with(std::locale(loc, new std::messages_byname<char>("de_DE.utf8")));
    try_with(std::locale(loc, new std::messages_byname<char>("fr_FR.utf8")));
    try_with(std::locale(loc, new std::messages_byname<char>("ja_JP.utf8")));
}

Possible output:

"No match" Keine Übereinstimmung
"Memory exhausted" Speicher erschöpft
"No match" Pas de concordance
"Memory exhausted" Mémoire épuisée
"No match" 照合しません
"Memory exhausted" メモリーが足りません
