STD::MESSAGES(3cxx)

okay so welcome to the std::messages< _CharT >(3cxx) manual page, bestie — this is the C++ locale facet that is literally called “Primary class template messages,” and it's giving main character energy. 👑✨

💖 NAME 💖

std::messages< _CharT > — Primary class template messages. That's the whole name vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <locale>

It inherits std::locale::facet, and std::messages_base. It's inherited by std::messages_byname< _CharT >. Family tree is giving very structured, very C++ slay. 🌈

💖 Public Types 💖

• typedef int catalog — a catalog is literally an int, no cap.
• typedef _CharT char_type — public typedef, iconic behavior.
• typedef basic_string< _CharT > string_type — public typedef, also iconic behavior.

🎀 Public Member Functions 🎀

• messages (__c_locale __cloc, const char *__s, size_t __refs=0) — internal constructor. Not for general use. 🫶
• messages (size_t __refs=0) — constructor performs initialization.
• void close (catalog __c) const — exact signature, no extra description on the page. 💅
• string_type get (catalog __c, int __set, int __msgid, const string_type &__s) const — exact signature, no extra description on the page.
• catalog open (const basic_string< char > &, const locale &, const char *) const — exact signature, no extra description on the page.
• catalog open (const basic_string< char > &__s, const locale &__loc) const — exact signature, no extra description on the page.

🌟 Static Public Attributes 🌟

• static locale::id id — Numpunct facet id. Yes, that's what the page says, bestie. 💀

💅 Protected Member Functions 💅

• string_type _M_convert_from_char (char *) const — signature only, no extra note.
• char * _M_convert_to_char (const string_type &__msg) const — signature only, no extra note.
• virtual void do_close (catalog) const — signature only.
• void do_close (catalog) const — yep, same signature again; the page really lists it.
• void do_close (catalog) const — and a third time. Not a typo on our end, bestie. 🙈
• string do_get (catalog, int, int, const string &) const — Specializations for required instantiations.
• virtual string_type do_get (catalog, int, int, const string_type &__dfault) const — signature only.

🌈 Detailed Description 🌈

template<typename _CharT>
    class std::messages< _CharT >"Primary class template messages.

That stray " before Primary is literally in the original template line, so we're keeping it. 💀✨

This facet encapsulates the code to retrieve messages from message catalogs. The only thing defined by the standard for this facet is the interface. All underlying functionality is implementation-defined.

This library currently implements 3 versions of the message facet. The first version (gnu) is a wrapper around gettext, provided by libintl. The second version (ieee) is a wrapper around catgets. The final version (default) does no actual translation. These implementations are only provided for char and wchar_t instantiations.

The messages template uses protected virtual functions to provide the actual results. The public accessors forward the call to the virtual functions. These virtual functions are hooks for developers to implement the behavior they require from the messages facet.

🌸 Member Typedef Documentation 🌸

• template<typename _CharT > typedef _CharT std::messages< _CharT >::char_type — Public typedefs. Cute, brief, iconic. 🎀
• template<typename _CharT > typedef basic_string<_CharT> std::messages< _CharT >::string_type — Public typedefs. Also cute, also iconic.

🎀 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🎀

• template<typename _CharT > std::messages< _CharT >::messages (size_t __refs = 0) [explicit] — Constructor performs initialization. This is the constructor provided by the standard.
  • __refs — Passed to the base facet class.
• template<typename _CharT > std::messages< _CharT >::messages (__c_locale __cloc, const char * __s, size_t __refs = 0) [explicit] — Internal constructor. Not for general use. This is a constructor for use by the library itself to set up new locales.
  • __cloc — The C locale.
  • __s — The name of a locale.
  • __refs — Refcount to pass to the base class.
• template<typename _CharT > std::messages< _CharT >::~messages () [protected], [virtual] — Destructor.

💜 Member Function Documentation 💜

• string std::messages< char >::do_get (catalog, int, int, const string &) const [protected] — Specializations for required instantiations.

⭐ Member Data Documentation ⭐

• template<typename _CharT > locale::id std::messages< _CharT >::id [static] — Numpunct facet id.

That's the footer tea, bestie: the source/version energy is libstdc++, and the date slot is basically std::messages< _CharT >(3cxx) — no extra date drama on this page. 💜🫶✨
