moneypunct Class

Article
08/03/2021

The class template describes an object that can serve as a locale facet to describe the sequences of type CharType used to represent a monetary input field or a monetary output field. If the template parameter Intl is true, international conventions are observed.

Syntax

template <class CharType, bool Intl>
class moneypunct;

Parameters

CharType
The type used within a program to encode characters.

Intl
A flag specifying whether international conventions are to be observed.

Remarks

As with any locale facet, the static object ID has an initial stored value of zero. The first attempt to access its stored value stores a unique positive value in id.

The const static object intl stores the value of the template parameter Intl.

Example

See the example for decimal_point, where the virtual member function is called by decimal_point.

moneypunct::do_frac_digits

A protected virtual member function that returns a locale-specific count of the number of digits to display to the right of any decimal point.

virtual int do_frac_digits() const;

Return Value

A locale-specific count of the number of digits to display to the right of any decimal point.

Example

See the example for frac_digits, where the virtual member function is called by frac_digits.

moneypunct::do_grouping

A protected virtual member function that returns a locale-specific rule for determining how digits are grouped to the left of any decimal point.

moneypunct::do_neg_format

A protected virtual member function that is called to return a locale-specific rule for formatting outputs with negative amounts.

virtual pattern do_neg_format() const;

Return Value

The protected virtual member function returns a locale-specific rule for determining how to generate a monetary output field for a negative amount. Each of the four elements of pattern::field can have the values:

none to match zero or more spaces or generate nothing.
sign to match or generate a positive or negative sign.
space to match zero or more spaces or generate a space.
symbol to match or generate a currency symbol.
value to match or generate a monetary value.

Components of a monetary output field are generated and components of a monetary input field are matched in the order in which these elements appear in pattern::field. Each of the values sign, symbol, value, and either none or space must appear exactly once. The value none must not appear first. The value space must not appear first or last. If Intl is true, the order is symbol, sign, none, then value.

The template version of moneypunct< CharType, Intl > returns {money_base::symbol, money_base::sign, money_base::value, money_base::none}.

Example

See the example for neg_format, where the virtual member function is called by neg_format.

virtual pattern do_pos_format() const;

Return Value

The template version of moneypunct< CharType, Inputlterator > returns { money_base::symbol, money_base::sign, money_base::value, money_base::none }.

moneypunct::moneypunct

Constructor of objects of type moneypunct.

explicit moneypunct(size_t _Refs = 0);

Parameters

_Refs
Integer value used to specify the type of memory management for the object.

Remarks

The possible values for the _Refs parameter and their significance are:

0: The lifetime of the object is managed by the locales that contain it.
1: The lifetime of the object must be manually managed.
> 1: These values are not defined.

No direct examples are possible, because the destructor is protected.
