Puts the character ch back to the input stream so the next extracted character will be ch.
First clears eofbit, then behaves as UnformattedInputFunction. After constructing and checking the sentry object, if rdbuf() is not null, calls rdbuf()->sputbackc(ch), which calls rdbuf()->pbackfail(ch) if ch does not equal the most recently extracted character.
If rdbuf() is null or if rdbuf->sputbackc(ch) returns Traits::eof(), calls setstate(badbit).
In any case, sets the gcount() counter to zero.
Parameters
| ch | - | character to put into input stream |
Return value
*this.
Exceptions
failure if an error occurred (the error state flag is not goodbit) and exceptions() is set to throw for that state.
If an internal operation throws an exception, it is caught and badbit is set. If exceptions() is set for badbit, the exception is rethrown.
Example
demonstrates the difference between modifying and non-modifying putback().
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 | #include <sstream>#include <iostream> int main(){ std::stringstream s1("Hello, world"); // IO stream s1.get(); if (s1.putback('Y')) // modifies the buffer std::cout << s1.rdbuf() << '\n'; else std::cout << "putback failed\n"; std::istringstream s2("Hello, world"); // input-only stream s2.get(); if (s2.putback('Y')) // cannot modify input-only buffer std::cout << s2.rdbuf() << '\n'; else std::cout << "putback failed\n"; s2.clear(); if (s2.putback('H')) // non-modifying putback std::cout << s2.rdbuf() << '\n'; else std::cout << "putback failed\n";} |
Output:
1 2 3 | Yello, worldputback failedHello, world |
