okay so this is the C++ Standard Libary manual page for std::locale::classic(3) — yes bestie, we're getting into locale lore today. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

std::locale::classic — std::locale::classic (yes, the NAME section is literally her name twice, iconic 💅)

✨ Synopsis ✨

static const locale& classic();

🎀 Parameters 🎀

none. like, zero args, she takes nothing. 🫶

🌸 Return value 🌸

Returns a reference to the "C" locale. periodt.

🧚 Notes 🧚

Some of the standard-required facets — such as the UTF-8/UTF-32 conversion facet std::codecvt<char32_t, char, std::mbstate_t> — have no equivalents in the "C" locale, but they are nevertheless present in the locale returned by std::locale::classic(), as in any other locale constructed in a C++ program. iykyk 🔥

🙈 Example 🙈

This section is incomplete.

Reason: no example.
