do_in of the most derived class.codecvt facet defines a conversion, translates the external characters from the source range [from, from_end) to internal characters, placing the results in the subsequent locations starting at to. Converts no more than from_end - from external characters and writes no more than to_end - to internal characters. Leaves from_next and to_next pointing one beyond the last element successfully converted.If this codecvt facet does not define a conversion, no characters are converted. to_next is set to be equal to to, state is unchanged, and std::codecvt_base::noconv is returned.
do_in(state, from, from_end, from_next, to, to + 1, to_next) must return ok if
- this
codecvtfacet is used by basic_filebuf, and - do_in(state, from, from_end, from_next, to, to_end, to_next) would return
okwhere to != to_end.
Return value
A value of type std::codecvt_base::result, indicating the success status as follows:
ok
|
conversion completed |
partial
|
not enough space in the output buffer or unexpected end of source buffer |
error
|
encountered a character that could not be converted |
noconv
|
this facet is non-converting, no output written |
The non-converting specialization std::codecvt<char, char, std::mbstate_t> always returns std::codecvt_base::noconv.
Notes
Requires that from <= from_end && to <= to_end and that state either representing the initial shift state or obtained by converting the preceding characters in the sequence.
The effect on state is deliberately unspecified. In standard facets, it is used to maintain shift state like when calling std::mbsrtowcs, and is therefore updated to reflect the conversion state after the last processed external character, but a user-defined facet is free to use it to maintain any other state, e.g. count the number of special characters encountered.
Example
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <locale> int main() { std::locale::global(std::locale("en_US.utf8")); auto const& f = std::use_facet<std::codecvt<wchar_t, char, std::mbstate_t>> (std::locale()); std::string external = "z\u00df\u6c34\U0001d10b"; // or u8"zß水𝄋" // or "\x7a\xc3\x9f\xe6\xb0\xb4\xf0\x9d\x84\x8b"; // note that the following can be done with wstring_convert std::mbstate_t mb = std::mbstate_t(); // initial shift state std::wstring internal(external.size(), '\0'); const char* from_next; wchar_t* to_next; f.in(mb, &external[0], &external[external.size()], from_next, &internal[0], &internal[internal.size()], to_next); // error checking skipped for brevity internal.resize(to_next - &internal[0]); std::wcout << L"The string in wide encoding: " << internal << '\n'; }
Output:
The string in wide encoding: zß水𝄋
