______________________________________________________________________ 21 Strings library [lib.strings] ______________________________________________________________________ 1 This clause describes components for manipulating sequences of "char acters," where characters may be of any POD (_basic.types_) type. In this clause such types are called char-like types, and objects of char-like types are called char-like objects or simply "characters." 2 The following subclauses describe a character traits class, a string class, and null-terminated sequence utilities, as summarized in Table 1: Table 1--Strings library summary +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Subclause Header(s) | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ |_lib.char.traits_ Character traits <string> | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ |_lib.string.classes_ String classes <string> | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | <cctype> | | <cwctype> | |_lib.c.strings_ Null-terminated sequence utilities <cstring> | | <cwchar> | | <cstdlib> | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ 21.1 Character traits [lib.char.traits] 1 This subclause defines requirements on classes representing character traits, and defines a class template char_traits<charT>, along with two specializations, char_traits<char> and char_traits<wchar_t>, that satisfy those requirements. 2 Most classes specified in clauses _lib.string.classes_ and _lib.input.output_ need a set of related types and functions to com plete the definition of their semantics. These types and functions are provided as a set of member typedefs and functions in the template parameter `traits' used by each such template. This subclause defines the semantics guaranteed by these members. 3 To specialize those templates to generate a string or iostream class to handle a particular character container type CharT, that and its related character traits class Traits is passed as a pair of parame ters to the string or iostream template as formal parameters charT and traits. 4 This subclause specifies a struct template, char_traits<charT>, with no members, to appear in the header <string> along with two explicit specializations of it, char_traits<char> and char_traits<wchar_t> which satisfy the requirements below. 21.1.1 Definitions [lib.char.traits.defs] 1 Additional definitions of terms: --character: In clauses _lib.strings_, _lib.localization_, and _lib.input.output_, the term character means any object which, when treated sequentially, can represent text. The term does not only mean char and wchar_t objects, but any value which can be repre sented by a type which provides the definitions specified in this clause. --character container type: A character container type is a class or a type used to represent a character. It is used for one of the tem plate parameters of the string and iostream class templates. A character container class shall be a POD (_basic.types_) type. --traits: Traits is a class which encapsulates a set of the defined types and functions necessary for handling character objects in any implementation of the string and iostream libraries. --NTCTS: A null-terminated character type string is a sequence of character type, that precede the termination null character type value charT(0). 21.1.2 Character traits requirements [lib.char.traits.require] 1 In Table 2, X denotes a Traits class defining types and functions for the character container type CharT; c and d denote values of type CharT; p and q denote values of type const CharT*; s denotes a value of type CharT*; n, i and j denote values of type size_t; e and f denote values of type X::int_type; pos denotes a value of type X::pos_type; and state denotes a value of type X::state_type; Table 2--Traits requirements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- expression return type assertion/note complexity pre/post-condition ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X::char_type charT (described in _lib.char.traits.typedefs_) compile-time ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X::int_type (described in _lib.char.traits.typedefs_) compile-time ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X::off_type (described in _lib.char.traits.typedefs_) compile-time ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X::pos_type (described in _lib.char.traits.typedefs_) compile-time ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X::state_type (described in _lib.char.traits.typedefs_) compile-time ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X::assign(c,d) (not used) assigns c=d. constant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X::eq(c,d) bool yields: whether c is to be treated as constant equal to d. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X::lt(c,d) bool yields: whether c is to be treated as constant less than d. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X::compare int yields: 0 if for each i in [0,n), linear (p,q,n) X::eq(p[i],q[i]) is true; else, a nega tive value if, for some j in [0,n), X::lt(p[j],q[j]) is true and for each i in [0,j) X::eq(p[i],q[i]) is true; else a positive value. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X::length(p) size_t yields: the smallest i such that linear X::eq(p[i],charT(0)) is true. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X::find(p,n,c) const X:: yields: the smallest q in [p,p+n) such linear char_type* that X::eq(q,c) is true, zero otherwise. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X::move(s,p,n) X:: for each i in [0,n), performs X::as linear char_type* sign(s[i],p[i]).

The type int_type represents another character container type which can hold end-of- file to be used as a return type of the iostream class member func tions. typedef OFF_T off_type; Requires: For a streambuf or its derived classes specialized for CHAR_T and TRAIT_T, a type or class, OFF_T is used to define off_type in the traits and represents offsets to positional information for the spe cialized streambuf (or its derived) class.1) 2 It is used to represent: --a signed displacement, measured in characters, from a specified position within a sequence. --an absolute position within a sequence. 3 The value OFF_T(-1) can be used as an error indicator. 4 The effect of passing to any function in _lib.input.output_ an OFF_T value not obtained from a function defined in that clause (for exam ple, an arbitrary integer) is undefined except where otherwise noted. 5 Convertible to type POS_T. But no validity of the resulting POS_T value is ensured, whether or not the OFF_T value is valid.2) typedef POS_T pos_type; Requires: For a streambuf or its derived classed specialized for CHAR_T and TRAIT_T, a type or class, POS_T is used to define pos_type for the seek operation. It can hold all the information necessary to repo sition the specialized streambuf (or its derived) class. 6 The type pos_type represents the type used for the seek operation in the implementation of streambuf and its derived classes in this library. typedef STATE_T state_type; Requires: For a streambuf or its derived classes whose underlying stream is a multibyte character stream and specialized for CHAR_T and TRAIT_T, a type or class STATE_T is used to define state_type in the traits and represents the conversion state type or class which is applied to the codecvt<> facet defined in _lib.localization_. _________________________ 1) It is usually a synonym for one of the signed basic integral types whose representation has at least as many bits as type long. 2) An implementation may use the same type for both OFF_T and POS_T. 21.1.4 char_traits [lib.char.traits.specializations] specializations namespace std { template<> struct char_traits<char>; template<> struct char_traits<wchar_t>; } 1 The header <string> declares two structs that are specializations of the template struct char_traits. 2 The struct char_traits<char> is the char type specialization of the template struct char_traits, which contains all of the types and func tions necessary to ensure the behaviours of the classes in _lib.string.classes_ and _lib.input.output_. 3 The types and static member functions are describes in detail in _lib.char.traits.require_. 21.1.4.1 struct [lib.char.traits.specializations.char] char_traits<char> namespace std { template<> struct char_traits<char> { typedef char char_type; typedef int int_type; typedef streamoff off_type; typedef streampos pos_type; typedef mbstate_t state_type; static void assign(char_type& c1, const char_type& c2); static bool eq(const char_type& c1, const char_type& c2); static bool lt(const char_type& c1, const char_type& c2); static int compare(const char_type* s1, const char_type* s2, size_t n); static size_t length(const char_type* s); static const char_type* find(const char_type* s, int n, const char_type& a); static char_type* move(char_type* s1, const char_type* s2, size_t n); static char_type* copy(char_type* s1, const char_type* s2, size_t n); static char_type* assign(char_type* s, size_t n, char_type a); static int_type not_eof(const int_type& c); static char_type to_char_type(const int_type& c); static int_type to_int_type(const char_type& c); static bool eq_int_type(const int_type& c1, const int_type& c2); static state_type get_state(pos_type pos); static int_type eof(); }; } 1 The header <string> (_lib.string.classes_) declares a specialization of the template struct char_traits for char. It is for narrow-ori ented iostream classes. 2 The defined types for int_type, pos_type, off_type, and state_type are int, streampos, streamoff, and mbstate_t respectively. 3 The type streampos is an implementation-defined type that satisfies the requirements in 27.1.2.5. 4 The type streamoff is an implementation-defined type that satisfies the requirements in 27.1.2.4. 5 The type mbstate_t is defined in <cwchar> and can represent any of the conversion states possible to occur in an implementation-defined set of supported multibyte character encoding rules. 6 The two-argument members assign, eq, and lt are defined identically to the built-in operators =, ==, and < respectively. 21.1.4.2 struct [lib.char.traits.specializations.wchar.t] char_traits<wchar_t> namespace std { template<> struct char_traits<wchar_t> { typedef wchar_t char_type; typedef wint_t int_type; typedef wstreamoff off_type; typedef wstreampos pos_type; typedef mbstate_t state_type; static void assign(char_type& c1, const char_type& c2); static bool eq(const char_type& c1, const char_type& c2); static bool lt(const char_type& c1, const char_type& c2); static int compare(const char_type* s1, const char_type* s2, size_t n); static size_t length(const char_type* s); static const char_type* find(const char_type* s, int n, const char_type& a); static char_type* move(char_type* s1, const char_type* s2, size_t n); static char_type* copy(char_type* s1, const char_type* s2, size_t n); static char_type* assign(char_type* s, size_t n, char_type a); static int_type not_eof(const int_type& c); static char_type to_char_type(const int_type& c); static int_type to_int_type(const char_type& c); static bool eq_int_type(const int_type& c1, const int_type& c2); static state_type get_state(pos_type pos); static int_type eof(); }; } The header <string> (_lib.string.classes_) declares a speciaization of the template struct char_traits for wchar_t. It is for wide-oriented iostream classes. 1 The defined types for int_type, pos_type, off_type, and state_type are wint_t, wstreampos, wstreamoff, and mbstate_t respectively. 2 The type wstreampos is an implementation-defined type that satisfies the requirements in 27.1.2.5. 3 The type wstreamoff is an implementation-defined type that satisfies the requirements in 27.1.2.4. 4 The pairs of types streampos and wstreampos, and streamoff and wstreamoff may be different, respectively if such implementations that adopt no shift encoding in narrow-oriented iostreams but supports one or more shift encodings in wide-oriented streams. 5 The type mbstate_t is defined in <cwchar> and can represent any of the conversion states possible to occur in an implementation-defined set of supported multibyte character encoding rules. 6 The two-argument members assign, eq, and lt are defined identically to the built-in operators =, ==, and < respectively. 21.2 String classes [lib.string.classes] 1 The header <string> defines a basic string class template and its traits that can handle all char-like (_lib.strings_) template argu ments with several function signatures for manipulating varying-length sequences of char-like objects. 2 The header <string> also defines two specific template classes string and wstring and their special traits.

The first element of the sequence is at position zero. Such a sequence is also called a "string" if the given char-like type is clear from context. In the rest of this clause, charT denotes a such given char-like type. Stor age for the string is allocated and freed as necessary by the member functions of class basic_string. 2 The template class basic_string conforms to the requirements of a Sequence, as specified in (_lib.sequence.reqmts_). Additionally, because the iterators supported by basic_string are random access iterators (_lib.random.access.iterators_), basic_string conforms to the the requirements of a Reversible Container, as specified in (_lib.container.requirements_). 3 In all cases, size() <= capacity(). 4 The functions described in this clause can report two kinds of errors, each associated with a distinct exception: --a length error is associated with exceptions of type length_error (_lib.length.error_);

Characters are extracted and appended until any of the following occurs: --n characters are stored; --end-of-file occurs on the input sequence; --isspace(c,getloc()) is true for the next available input character c. After the last character (if any) is extracted, is.width(0) is called and the sentry object k is destroyed.
