NAME
moneypunct, moneypunct_byname - Monetary punctuation facets.
SYNOPSIS
#include <locale>
class money_base;
template <class charT, bool International = false>
class moneypunct;
DESCRIPTION
The moneypunct facets provide formatting specifications and punctuation
character for monetary values. The moneypunct facet provides punctuation
based on the "C" locale, while the moneypunct_byname facet provides the
same facilities for named locales.
The facet is used by money_put for outputting formatted representations of
monetary values and by money_get for reading these strings back in.
money_base provides a structure, pattern, that specifies the order of
syntactic elements in a monetary value and enumeration values representing
those elements. The pattern struct provides a simple array of characters,
field. Each index in field is taken up by an enumeration value indicating
the location of a syntactic element. The enumeration values are described
below:
Format Flag Meaning
none No grouping seperator
space Use space for grouping seperator
symbol Currency symbol
sign Sign of monetary value
value The monetary value itself
The do_pos_format an do_neg_format member functions of moneypunct both
return the pattern type. See the description of these functions for
further elaboration.

TYPES
char_type
Type of character the facet is instantiated on.
string_type
Type of character string returned by member functions.
CONSTRUCTORS AND DESTRUCTORS
explicit moneypunct(size_t refs = 0)
Constructs a moneypunct facet. If the refs argument is 0 then
destruction of the object is delegated to the locale, or locales,
containing it. This allows the user to ignore lifetime management
issues. On the other had, if refs is 1 then the object must be
explicitly deleted; the locale will not do so. In this case, the object
can be maintained across the lifetime of multiple locales.
explicit moneypunct_byname(const char* name, size_t refs = 0);
Constructs a moneypunct_byname facet. Uses the named locale specified
by the name argument. The refs argument serves the same purpose as it
does for the moneypunct constructor.
~moneypunct(); // virtual and protected
Destroy the facet
STATIC MEMBERS
static locale::id id;
Unique identifier for this type of facet.
static const bool intl = Intl;
true if international representation, false otherwise.
PUBLIC MEMBER FUNCTIONS
The public members of the moneypunct and moneypunct_byname facets provide
an interface to protected members. Each public member xxx has a
corresponding virtual protected member do_xxx. All work is delagated to
these protected members. For instance, the long version of the public
decimal_point function simply calls its protected cousin do_decimal_point.
string_type curr_symbol() const;
charT decimal_point() const;
int frac_digits() const;
string grouping() const;
pattern neg_format() const;
string_type negative_sign() const;
pattern pos_format() const;
string_type positive_sign() const;
charT thousands_sep() const;
Each of these public member functions xxx simply calls the corresponding
protected do_xxx function.
PROTECTED MEMBER FUNCTIONS
virtual string_type
do_curr_symbol() const;
Returns a string to use as the currency symbol.
virtual charT
do_decimal_point() const;
Returns the radix separator to use if fractional digits are allowed (see
do_frac_digits).
virtual int
do_frac_digits() const;
Returns the number of digits in the fractional part of the monetary
representation.
virtual string
do_grouping() const;
Returns a string in which each character is used as an integer value to
represent the number of digits in a particular grouping, starting with
the rightmost group. A group is simply the digits between adjacent
thousands' separators. Each group at a position larger than the size of
the string gets the same value as the last element in the string. If a
value is less than or equal to zero, or equal to CHAR_MAX, then the size
of that group is unlimited. moneypunct returns an empty string,
indicating no grouping.
virtual string_type
do_negative_sign() const;
A string to use as the negative sign. The first character of this
string will be placed in the position indicated by the format pattern
(see do_neg_format); the rest of the characters, if any, will be placed
after all other parts of the monetary value.
virtual pattern
do_neg_format() const;
virtual pattern
do_pos_format() const;
Returns a pattern object specifying the location of the various
syntactic elements in a monetary representation. The enumeration values
symbol, sign, and value will appear exactly once in this pattern, with
the remaining location taken by either none or space. none will never
occupy the first position in the pattern and space will never occupy the
first or the last position. Beyond these restrictions, elements may
appear in any order. moneypunct returns {symbol, sign, none, value}.
virtual string_type
do_positive_sign() const;
A string to use as the positive sign. The first character of this
string will be placed in the position indicated by the format pattern
(see do_pos_format); the rest of the characters, if any, will be placed
after all other parts of the monetary value.
virtual charT
do_thousands_sep() const;
Reurns the grouping seperator if grouping is allowed (see do_grouping).
EXAMPLE
//
// moneypun.cpp
//
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
int main ()
{
using namespace std;
locale loc;
// Get a moneypunct facet
const moneypunct<char,false>& mp =
#ifndef _RWSTD_NO_TEMPLATE_ON_RETURN_TYPE
use_facet<moneypunct<char,false> >(loc);
#else
use_facet(loc,(moneypunct<char,false>*)0);
#endif
cout << "Decimal point = "
<< mp.decimal_point() << endl;
cout << "Thousands seperator = "
<< mp.thousands_sep() << endl;
cout << "Currency symbol = "
<< mp.curr_symbol() << endl;
cout << "Negative Sign = "
<< mp.negative_sign() << endl;
cout << "Digits after decimal = "
<< mp.frac_digits() << endl;
return 0;
}
