🔥 Inserters 🔥

Okay so all the operator<< functions (aka formatted output functions) have some common behavior. Each one starts by constructing a temporary object of type std::basic_ostream::sentry. This can have several effects, concluding with the setting of a status flag; see the sentry documentation for more. 👀

If the sentry status is good, the function tries to generate whatever data is appropriate for the type of the argument. ✨

If an exception is thrown during insertion, ios_base::badbit will be turned on in the stream's error state without causing an ios_base::failure to be thrown. The original exception will then be rethrown. 😱

  • __ostream_type & operator<< (long __n) — integer arithmetic inserters. 🔢
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (unsigned long __n) — integer arithmetic inserters. 🔢
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (bool __n) — integer arithmetic inserters. 🔢
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (short __n) — integer arithmetic inserters. 🔢
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (unsigned short __n) — integer arithmetic inserters. 🔢
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (int __n) — integer arithmetic inserters. 🔢
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (unsigned int __n) — integer arithmetic inserters. 🔢
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (long long __n) — integer arithmetic inserters. 🔢
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (unsigned long long __n) — integer arithmetic inserters. 🔢

  • __ostream_type & operator<< (float __f) — floating point arithmetic inserters. 🧮
  • __ostream_type & operator<< (long double __f) — floating point arithmetic inserters. 🧮

🌸 Unformatted Output Functions 🌸

All the unformatted output functions have some common behavior. Each one starts by constructing a temporary object of type std::basic_ostream::sentry. This has several effects, concluding with the setting of a status flag; see the sentry documentation for more. 👀

If the sentry status is good, the function tries to generate whatever data is appropriate for the type of the argument. ✨

If an exception is thrown during insertion, ios_base::badbit will be turned on in the stream's error state. If badbit is on in the stream's exceptions mask, the exception will be rethrown without completing its actions. 💥

  • __ostream_type & put (char_type __c) — simple insertion. 🎯
  • __ostream_type & write (const char_type *__s, streamsize __n) — character string insertion. ✍️

📖 Detailed Description 📖

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits>
    class std::basic_ofstream< _CharT, _Traits >

"Controlling output for files." — that's the whole vibe, bestie, it writes stuff to files, periodt 💅

Template Parameters

  • _CharT — Type of character stream.
  • _Traits — Traits for character type, defaults to char_traits<_CharT>.

This class supports reading from named files, using the inherited functions from std::basic_ostream. To control the associated sequence, an instance of std::basic_filebuf is used, which this page refers to as sb. 🦋

✨ Constructor & Destructor Documentation ✨

basic_ofstream ()

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> std::basic_ofstream< _CharT,
    _Traits >::basic_ofstream () [inline]

Default constructor. Initializes sb using its default constructor, and passes &sb to the base class initializer. Does not open any files (you haven't given it a filename to open, so like… what did you expect bestie 😭).

basic_ofstream (const char * __s, ios_base::openmode __mode = ios_base::out)

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> std::basic_ofstream< _CharT,
    _Traits >::basic_ofstream (const char * __s, ios_base::openmode __mode =
    ios_base::out) [inline],  [explicit]

Create an output file stream. 🦋

Parameters

  • __s — Null terminated string specifying the filename.
  • __mode — Open file in specified mode (see std::ios_base).

ios_base::out is automatically included in __mode.

basic_ofstream (const std::string & __s, ios_base::openmode __mode = ios_base::out)

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> std::basic_ofstream< _CharT,
    _Traits >::basic_ofstream (const std::string & __s, ios_base::openmode
    __mode = ios_base::out) [inline],  [explicit]

Create an output file stream. 🦋

Parameters

  • __s — std::string specifying the filename.
  • __mode — Open file in specified mode (see std::ios_base).

ios_base::out is automatically included in __mode.

basic_ofstream (const _Path & __s, ios_base::openmode __mode = ios_base::out)

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> template<typename _Path,
    typename _Require = _If_fs_path<_Path>> std::basic_ofstream< _CharT,
    _Traits >::basic_ofstream (const _Path & __s, ios_base::openmode __mode
    = ios_base::out) [inline]

Create an output file stream. 🦋

Parameters

  • __s — filesystem::path specifying the filename.
  • __mode — Open file in specified mode (see std::ios_base).

ios_base::out is automatically included in __mode.

~basic_ofstream ()

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> std::basic_ofstream< _CharT,
    _Traits >::~basic_ofstream () [inline]

The destructor does nothing. The file is closed by the filebuf object, not the formatting stream. (iconic delegation honestly 👑)

💖 Member Function Documentation 💖

_M_getloc

const locale & std::ios_base::_M_getloc () const [inline],  [inherited]

Locale access.

Returns

A reference to the current locale.

Like getloc above, but returns a reference instead of generating a copy.

Referenced by std::money_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get(), std::num_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get_date(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get_monthname(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get_time(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get_weekday(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::do_get_year(), std::num_put< _CharT, _OutIter >::do_put(), std::time_put< _CharT, _OutIter >::do_put(), std::time_get< _CharT, _InIter >::get(), and std::time_put< _CharT, _OutIter >::put().

bad ()

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> bool std::basic_ios< _CharT,
    _Traits >::bad () const [inline],  [nodiscard],  [inherited]

Fast error checking. ⚡

Returns

True if the badbit is set.

heads up bestie: other iostate flags may also be set. don't assume bad() being true means nothing else is going on 💀
  • Referenced by std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::sentry::sentry().

clear — [Re]sets the error state 💅

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> void std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::clear (iostate __state = goodbit) [inherited]

Okay so this one resets the error state. Yes bestie, resets. It's the little broom that sweeps your stream's drama away. ✨

  • Parameters
    • __state — the new state flag(s) to set. Like, what you wanna set it to.

Peep std::ios_base::iostate for the possible bit values. Most users will not need to pass an argument — fr, the default goodbit does the thing.

References: std::ios_base::badbit, exceptions(), rdbuf(), and rdstate().

Referenced by: std::basic_ios< char_type, traits_type >::exceptions(), std::basic_fstream< char >::open(), std::basic_fstream< char >::open(), std::basic_ifstream< char >::open(), std::basic_ifstream< char >::open(), std::basic_ofstream< char >::open(), std::basic_ofstream< char >::open(), std::__detail::operator>>(), std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::putback(), rdbuf(), std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::seekg(), std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::seekg(), std::basic_ios< char_type, traits_type >::setstate(), and std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::unget().

close — shutting the file, bye bestie 👋

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> void std::basic_ofstream< _CharT, _Traits >::close () [inline]

Close the file. That's it, that's the whole vibe. It calls std::basic_filebuf::close(). And if that function fails? failbit gets set in the stream's error state. Noted. 📌

copyfmt — copy-paste but make it stream ✨

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits > & std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::copyfmt (const basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits > & __rhs) [inherited]

Copies fields of __rhs into this. It's giving "be like your bestie" energy.

  • Parameters
    • __rhs — the source values for the copies.
  • Returns
    • A reference to this object. 🫶

So the tea is: all fields of __rhs are copied into this object, EXCEPT that rdbuf() and rdstate() stay exactly how they were. Untouched. Iconic. All values in the pword and iword arrays get copied too.

Before copying, every callback is invoked with erase_event. After copying, each (new) callback gets invoked with copyfmt_event. And the grand finale? Copying exceptions(). 🎀

References: basic_ios(), std::__addressof(), exceptions(), fill(), std::ios_base::flags(), std::ios_base::getloc(), std::ios_base::precision(), tie(), std::tie(), and std::ios_base::width().

eof — fast error checking, part one 🏃‍♀️

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> bool std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::eof () const [inline], [nodiscard], [inherited]

  • Returns
    • true if the eofbit is set.
Heads up bestie: other iostate flags may also be set. Don't assume it's just the one. 💀

exceptions (the const one) — mask reveal 👑

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> iostate std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::exceptions () const [inline], [nodiscard], [inherited]

Throwing exceptions on errors. Spicy. 🌶️

  • Returns
    • The current exceptions mask.

This changes nothing in the stream — it's purely a read, no cap. See the one-argument version of exceptions(iostate) for the meaning of the return value, because that's where the actual lore lives.

Referenced by: clear(), and copyfmt().

exceptions (the iostate one) — now we're throwing hands 😤

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> void std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::exceptions (iostate __except) [inline], [inherited]

Throwing exceptions on errors, but this time you're the one setting the rules.

  • Parameters
    • __except — the new exceptions mask.

By default, error flags are set silently. So chill. But you can set an exceptions mask for each stream; if a bit in the mask becomes set in the error flags, then an exception of type std::ios_base::failure is thrown. 🚨

And here's the part that gets you: if the error flag is already set when the exceptions mask is added, the exception is thrown immediately. No waiting, no build-up. Try running the following under GCC 3.1 or later:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <exception>

int main()
{
    std::set_terminate (__gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler);

    std::ifstream f ("/etc/motd");

    std::cerr << "Setting badbit\n";
    f.setstate (std::ios_base::badbit);

    std::cerr << "Setting exception mask\n";
    f.exceptions (std::ios_base::badbit);
}

fail — fast error checking, part two 💀

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> bool std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::fail () const [inline], [nodiscard], [inherited]

  • Returns
    • true if either the badbit or the failbit is set.

Checking the badbit in fail() is historical practice — it's a legacy thing, it's grandfathered in, we don't question it. And again: other iostate flags may also be set. 👀

Referenced by: std::basic_ios< char_type, traits_type >::operator bool(), std::basic_ios< char_type, traits_type >::operator!(), std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::seekg(), std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::seekg(), std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::seekp(), std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::seekp(), std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::tellg(), and std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::tellp().

fill (the getter) — what's the empty character, bestie? 🌸

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> char_type std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::fill () const [inline], [nodiscard], [inherited]

Retrieves the empty character. The filler. The padding icon. ✨

  • Returns
    • The current fill character.

It defaults to a space (' ') in the current locale. Classic.

Referenced by: copyfmt(), and std::philox_engine< uint_fast32_t, 32, 4, 10, 0xCD9E8D57, 0x9E3779B9, 0xD2511F53, 0xBB67AE85 >::operator<<.

fill (the setter) — new filler just dropped 🎀

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> char_type std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::fill (char_type __ch) [inline], [inherited]

Sets a new empty character. Glow up for your padding.

  • Parameters
    • __ch — the new character.
  • Returns
    • The previous fill character. So you can always swap back, we love a reversible queen. 💅

The fill character is used to fill out space when P characters have been requested (e.g., via setw), Q characters are actually used, and Q<P. And yeah — it defaults to a space (' ') in the current locale.

flags (the const one) — format flag peek 👑

fmtflags std::ios_base::flags () const [inline], [nodiscard], [inherited]

Access to format flags. The whole control panel, for input and output.

flags (the setter) — all at once, no crumbs 😤

fmtflags std::ios_base::flags (fmtflags __fmtfl) [inline], [inherited]

Setting new format flags all at once. It's a full send.

  • Parameters
    • __fmtfl — the new flags to set.
  • Returns
    • The previous format control flags.
This function overwrites all the format flags with __fmtfl. Every single one. So like… know what you're doing before you do it. 🙈

flush</flush>` — synchronizing the stream buffer 💦

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits > & std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::flush () [inherited]

Synchronizing the stream buffer. Get it all out, bestie.

  • Returns
    • *this

If rdbuf() is a null pointer, changes nothing. Nothing to flush, nothing to see. If it is a real pointer? It calls rdbuf()->pubsync(), and if that returns -1, sets badbit. 😭

locale std::ios_base::getloc () const [inline], [nodiscard], [inherited]

Locale access. Asking the stream "so what locale are we in rn?"

  • Returns
    • A copy of the current locale.

If imbue(loc) has previously been called, then this function returns loc. Otherwise, it returns a copy of std::locale(), the global C++ locale. So if you never set one, you get the default. Simple as. ✨

imbue — moving to a new locale, we're relocating 🧳

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> locale std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::imbue (const locale & __loc) [inherited]

Moves to a new locale. New city, new energy. 🌈

  • Parameters
    • __loc — the new locale.
  • Returns
    • The previous locale.

Calls ios_base::imbue(loc), and if a stream buffer is associated with this stream, calls that buffer's pubimbue(loc). Both of them. Everybody gets the memo. 📬

Wrapper to test for an open file. A little middleman, doing a little check-in. 🫶

  • Returns
    • rdbuf()->is_open()

That's it. That's the return. Straight from the buffer's mouth.

iword — access to the integer array 🔢

long & std::ios_base::iword (int __ix) [inline], [inherited]

Access to integer array. A little stash of integers you can do whatever you want with. Iconic, honestly.

  • Parameters
    • __ix — index into the array.
  • Returns
    • A reference to an integer associated with the index.

The iword function provides access to an array of integers that can be used for any purpose. The array grows as required to hold the supplied index. All integers in the array are initialized to 0. ✨

Important though: the implementation reserves several indices. You should use xalloc to obtain an index that is safe to use. Also note that since the array can grow dynamically, it is not safe to hold onto the reference. It can move on you. Don't get attached. 😭

Okay so bestie, this one squeezes characters. It maps a character of char_type to a character of char, if possible.

Parameters

  • __c — The character to narrow.
  • __dfault — The character to narrow.

Returns

operator<< from another streambuf 🦋

   template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >
       & std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::operator<< (__streambuf_type *
       __sb) [inherited]

Extracting from another streambuf.

Parameters

  • __sb — A pointer to a streambuf

This function behaves like one of the basic arithmetic extractors, in that it also constructs a sentry object and has the same error handling behavior.

If __sb is NULL, the stream will set failbit in its error state.

Characters are extracted from __sb and inserted into *this until one of the following occurs:

  • the input stream reaches end-of-file,
  • insertion into the output sequence fails (in this case, the character that would have been inserted is not extracted), or
  • an exception occurs while getting a character from __sb, which sets failbit in the error state

If the function inserts no characters, failbit is set. So basically, no characters, no peace. 😭

Changing the underlying buffer.

Parameters

  • __sb — The new stream buffer.

Returns The previous stream buffer.

Associates a new buffer with the current stream, and clears the error state.

Due to historical accidents which the LWG refuses to correct, the I/O library suffers from a design error: this function is hidden in derived classes by overrides of the zero-argument rdbuf(), which is non-virtual for hysterical raisins. As a result, you must use explicit qualifications to access this function via any derived class. For example:

std::fstream     foo;         // or some other derived type
std::streambuf*  p = .....;

foo.ios::rdbuf(p);            // ios == basic_ios<char>

💎 template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::pos_type std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::tellp () [inherited] 💎

Getting the current write position.

Returns A file position object.

If fail() is not false, returns pos_type(-1) to indicate failure. Otherwise returns rdbuf()->pubseekoff(0,cur,out).

🫶 template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits > * std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::tie () const [inline], [nodiscard], [inherited] 🫶

Fetches the current tied stream.

Returns A pointer to the tied stream, or NULL if the stream is not tied.

A stream may be tied (or synchronized) to a second output stream. When this stream performs any I/O, the tied stream is first flushed. For example, std::cin is tied to std::cout.

Ties this stream to an output stream.

Parameters

  • __tiestr — The output stream.

Returns The previously tied output stream, or NULL if the stream was not tied.

This sets up a new tie; see tie() for more.

💅 void std::ios_base::unsetf (fmtflags __mask) [inline], [inherited] 💅

Parameters

  • __mask — The flags to unset.

This function clears __mask in the format flags.

🌸 template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> char_type std::basic_ios< _CharT, _Traits >::widen (char __c) const [inline], [inherited] 🌸

Widens characters.

Parameters

  • __c — The character to widen.

Returns The widened character.

Maps a character of char to a character of char_type.

Returns the result of

std::use_facet<ctype<char_type> >(getloc()).widen(c)

write — character string insertion 🌈

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits> basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >
& std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::write (const char_type * __s,
streamsize __n) [inherited]

okay so this one is the character string insertion girly. she takes your characters and puts them into the stream. very straightforward, very demure.

Parameters

  • __s — the array to insert, bestie.
  • __n — maximum number of characters to insert.

Returns — *this 🫶

here's the tea: characters get copied from __s and inserted into the stream until one of these things happens:

  • __n characters are inserted ✨
  • inserting into the output sequence fails — and in that case, badbit will be set in the stream's error state 💀
Note: this function is not overloaded on signed char and unsigned char. like, at all. periodt.

xalloc — access to unique indices 👑

int std::ios_base::xalloc () [static],  [inherited]

Returns — an integer different from all previous calls.

so this function returns a unique integer every single time you call it. you can use it for literally anything, but it's primarily intended to be a unique index for the iword and pword functions. the expectation is that an application calls xalloc in order to obtain an index in the iword and pword arrays that can be used without fear of conflict. no drama, no collisions. 🧚

the implementation keeps a static variable that gets incremented and returned on each invocation. xalloc is guaranteed to return an index that's safe to use in the iword and pword arrays. it's giving reliable. 💅

🎀 Member Data Documentation 🎀

these are the iconic static constants, the main characters of ios_base. buckle up bestie, there's a lot of them, and every single one comes with receipts (aka the "Referenced by" list, which we are keeping in full because we don't skip content around here). 💖
