std::locale::operator=(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay bestie, this is the page for std::locale::operator= from the C++ Standard Library manual, and the name is literally serving double:

• std::locale::operator= — std::locale::operator=

---

✨ Synopsis ✨

It’s giving “defined in header” energy:

Defined in header <locale>
const locale& operator=( const locale& other ) throw();   (until C++11)
const locale& operator=( const locale& other ) noexcept;  (since C++11)

So there are two vibe-check versions: the throw() one until C++11, and the noexcept one since C++11. Slay.

🎀 Description 🎀

So basically, this operator creates a copy of other and replaces the contents of *this with it. Iconic behavior, honestly.

The reference counts of all facets held by other are incremented. Then the reference counts of all facets previously held by *this are decremented, and those facets whose reference count becomes zero are deleted. Boom. Housekeeping. Periodt.

---

💖 Return value 💖

It returns *this, which is now a copy of other. That’s it. That’s the whole return-value moment. 🫶

🦋 Example 🦋

This section is incomplete.

Reason: no example.

The example section really said “no thoughts, head empty” 😭 but that’s literally what the page says, so we’re respecting it.
