Each of the above macro constants expand to integer constant expressions with distinct values that are suitable for use as the first argument of std::setlocale
.
Constant | Explanation |
---|---|
LC_ALL | selects the entire C locale |
LC_COLLATE | selects the collation category of the C locale |
LC_CTYPE | selects the character classification category of the C locale |
LC_MONETARY | selects the monetary formatting category of the C locale |
LC_NUMERIC | selects the numeric formatting category of the C locale |
LC_TIME | selects the time formatting category of the C locale |
Additional macro constants, with names that begin with LC_
followed by at least one uppercase letter, may be defined in <clocale>
. For example, the POSIX specification requires LC_MESSAGES (which controls std::perror
and std::strerror
) and the GNU C library additionally defines LC_PAPER, LC_NAME, LC_ADDRESS, LC_TELEPHONE, LC_MEASUREMENT, and LC_IDENTIFICATION.
Example
#include <cstdio> #include <clocale> #include <ctime> #include <cwchar> int main() { std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.UTF-8"); // the C locale will be the UTF-8 enabled English std::setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "de_DE"); // decimal dot will be German std::setlocale(LC_TIME, "ja_JP"); // date/time formatting will be Japanese wchar_t str[100]; std::time_t t = std::time(nullptr); std::wcsftime(str, 100, L"%A %c", std::localtime(&t)); std::wprintf(L"Number: %.2f\nDate: %Ls\n", 3.14, str); }
Output:
