__GNU_CXX::CHARACTER(3)

✨ __gnu_cxx::character< _Value, _Int, _St > — NAME ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this one comes from the Library Functions Manual and it's literally called __gnu_cxx::character< _Value, _Int, _St > 💅

it's a POD class that serves as a character abstraction class. that's the whole vibe. that's the whole job. a lil abstraction wrapper so you can talk about "a character" without committing to which flavour of character you mean. iconic behaviour honestly 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first things first, you gotta let it in the door:

#include <pod_char_traits.h>

no cap, that's the only include you need 🫶

💖 Public Types 💖

these are the type aliases it's serving, and yes, every single one of them matters:

• typedef character< _Value, _Int, _St > char_type — it names itself. main character energy fr fr 👑
• typedef _Int int_type — the integer-ish type, straight from _Int
• typedef _St state_type — the state type, straight from _St
• typedef _Value value_type — the value type, straight from _Value

🦋 Static Public Member Functions 🦋

static, so you don't even need an instance. just call them. slay.

• template<typename V2> static char_type from (const V2 &v) — turn some V2 into a char_type
• template<typename V2> static V2 to (const char_type &c) — turn a char_type back into a V2

it's giving conversion, it's giving round-trip, it's giving to and from being besties 💞

🌈 Public Attributes 🌈

• value_type value — the actual value, just sitting there in the open, being a public attribute. no encapsulation gatekeeping here, we're all friends 😭

🧚 Detailed Description 🧚

here's the formal declaration, copy it exactly, do not freestyle:

template<typename _Value, typename _Int, typename _St = std::mbstate_t>
struct __gnu_cxx::character< _Value, _Int, _St >

and what does that beautiful struct say about itself? 🥹

"A POD class that serves as a character abstraction class."

that's it. that's the description. short, sweet, straight to the point, and lowkey perfect. a POD class = plain old data, so you can copy it around, pass it across boundaries, and it won't do any sneaky nonsense behind your back. highkey the kind of class you want in your group chat 💜

• Generated automatically by Doxygen for libstdc++ from the source code.

so yeah, no human author to thank — a machine wrote this one for us, and honestly? it ate 🤖✨

and that's the whole page, bestie 🍓 this lil write-up came to you from the libstdc++ docs for __gnu_cxx:..._Int, _St >(3), generated straight out of the source code by Doxygen, so go forth, abstract your characters, and stay iconic 💖💅🌸
