<P>
|
|
For the required specialization codecvt<wchar_t, char, mbstate_t> ,
|
|
conversions are made between the internal character set (always UCS4
|
|
on GNU/Linux) and whatever the currently selected locale for the
|
|
LC_CTYPE category implements.

4. Design
|
|
</H2>
|
|
The two required specializations are implemented as follows:

5. Examples
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
typedef ctype<char> cctype;
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
More information can be found in the following testcases:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI> testsuite/22_locale/ctype_char_members.cc

<UL>
|
|
<LI> locale -a displays available locales on linux
|
|
|
|
<LI> locale initialization: at what point does _S_classic,
|
|
_S_global get initialized? Can named locales assume this
|
|
initialization has already taken place?
