Class locale is non-templatized and has two distinct types nested
|
|
inside of it:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>

<para>

Facets actually implement locale functionality. For instance, a facet
|
|
called numpunct is the data object that can be used to query for the
|
|
thousands separator in the locale.
|
|
</para>
|

Literally, a facet is strictly defined:

<listitem>
|

<para>
|
|
Containing the following public data member:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<code>static locale::id id;</code>
|
|
</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|

<listitem>

<para>
|

Derived from another facet:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>

<code>class gnu_codecvt: public std::ctype<user-defined-type></code>

</para>

|
|
|

<para>
|
|
Of interest in this class are the memory management options explicitly
|
|
specified as an argument to facet's constructor. Each constructor of a
|
|
facet class takes a std::size_t __refs argument: if __refs == 0, the
|
|
facet is deleted when the locale containing it is destroyed. If __refs
|
|
== 1, the facet is not destroyed, even when it is no longer
|
|
referenced.

<para>
|
|
The major design challenge is fitting an object-orientated and
|
|
non-global locale design on top of POSIX and other relevant standards,
|
|
which include the Single Unix (nee X/Open.)
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Because C and earlier versions of POSIX fall down so completely,
|
|
portability is an issue.

From Josuttis, p. 697-698, which says, that "there is only *one*
|
|
relation (of the C++ locale mechanism) to the C locale mechanism: the
|
|
global C locale is modified if a named C++ locale object is set as the
|
|
global locale" (emphasis Paolo), that is:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>std::locale::global(std::locale(""));</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>affects the C functions as if the following call was made:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "");</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
On the other hand, there is *no* vice versa, that is, calling
|
|
setlocale has *no* whatsoever on the C++ locale mechanism, in
|
|
particular on the working of locale(""), which constructs the locale
|
|
object from the environment of the running program, that is, in
|
|
practice, the set of LC_ALL, LANG, etc. variable of the shell.
