Contents

[edit] Parameters

ch - character
loc - locale

[edit] Return value

Returns true if the character is classified as punctuation, false otherwise.

[edit] Possible implementation

template<class CharT>
bool ispunct(CharT ch, const std::locale& loc)
{
    return std::use_facet<std::ctype<CharT>>(loc).is(std::ctype_base::punct, ch);
}

[edit] Example

Demonstrates the use of std::ispunct() with different locales (OS-specific).

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
 
int main()
{
    const wchar_t c = L'\u214b'; // upside-down ampersand
 
    std::locale loc1("C");
    std::cout << "ispunct('⅋', C locale) returned "
              << std::boolalpha << std::ispunct(c, loc1) << '\n';
 
    std::locale loc2("en_US.UTF-8");
    std::cout << "ispunct('⅋', Unicode locale) returned "
              << std::boolalpha << std::ispunct(c, loc2) << '\n';
}

Possible output:

isalpha('⅋', C locale) returned false
isalpha('⅋', Unicode locale) returned true
