std::wbuffer_convert<Codecvt,Elem,Tr>::wbuffer_convert

From cppreference.com
 
 
 
 
wbuffer_convert() : wbuffer_convert(nullptr) {}
(1)
explicit wbuffer_convert( std::streambuf* bytebuf,

                          Codecvt* pcvt = new Codecvt,

                          state_type state = state_type() );
(2)
wbuffer_convert( const std::wbuffer_convert& ) = delete;
(3) (since C++14)
 Overload  Data members
bufptr cvtptr cvtstate
(1)  nullptr   new Codecvt   state_type() 
(2) bytebuf pcvt state
2) If pcvt is a null pointer, the behavior is undefined.
3) The copy constructor is deleted, wbuffer_convert is not CopyConstructible.

Parameters

bytebuf - pointer to the underlying buffer
pcvt - pointer to a standalone (not managed by a locale) facet
state - the initial value of the character conversion state

Example

#include <codecvt>
#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
#include <sstream>
 
int main()
{
    // Wrap a UTF-8 string stream in a UCS4 wbuffer_convert
    std::stringbuf utf8buf("z\u00df\u6c34\U0001f34c");
                       // or "\x7a\xc3\x9f\xe6\xb0\xb4\xf0\x9f\x8d\x8c"
                       // or u8"zß水🍌"
    std::wbuffer_convert<std::codecvt_utf8<wchar_t>> conv_in(&utf8buf);
    std::wistream ucsbuf(&conv_in);
    std::cout << "Reading from a UTF-8 stringbuf via wbuffer_convert: "
              << std::hex << std::showbase;
    for (wchar_t c; ucsbuf.get(c);)
        std::cout << static_cast<std::wint_t>(c) << ' ';
 
    // Wrap a UTF-8 aware std::cout in a UCS4 wbuffer_convert to output UCS4
    std::wbuffer_convert<std::codecvt_utf8<wchar_t>> conv_out(std::cout.rdbuf());
    std::wostream out(&conv_out);
    std::cout << "\nSending UCS4 data to std::cout via wbuffer_convert: ";
    out << L"z\u00df\u6c34\U0001f34c\n";
}

Output:

Reading from a UTF-8 stringbuf via wbuffer_convert: 0x7a 0xdf 0x6c34 0x1f34c 
Sending UCS4 data to std::cout via wbuffer_convert: zß水🍌

Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
LWG 2175 C++11 pcvt could be a null pointer the behavior is undefined in this case
LWG 2176 C++11 constructors accepting single argument were implicit made explicit
P0935R0 C++11 the default constructor was explicit made implicit
