std::numpunct::truename

Defined in header `<locale>`
public: string_type truename() const;	(1)
public: string_type falsename() const;	(2)
protected: virtual string_type do_truename() const;	(3)
protected: virtual string_type do_falsename() const;	(4)

1-2) Public member function, calls the member function do_truename and do_falsename of the most derived class respectively.

3-4) Returns the string to be used as the representation of the boolean value true.

Return value

1-2) The object of type string_type to use as the representation of true. The standard specializations of std::numpunct return "true" and L"true".

3-4) The object of type string_type to use as the representation of false. The standard specializations of std::numpunct return "false" and L"false".

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
#include <iomanip>
 
struct custom_tf : std::numpunct<char> {
    std::string do_truename()  const { return "t"; }
    std::string do_falsename() const { return "f"; }
};
 
int main()
{
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    std::cout << "default locale: " << true << true << false << false << '\n';
    std::cout.imbue(std::locale(std::cout.getloc(), new custom_tf));
    std::cout << "locale with modified numpunct: " 
              << true << true << false << false << '\n';
}

Output:

default locale: truetruefalsefalse
locale with modified numpunct: ttff
