Unformatted Input Functions

All the unformatted input functions have some common behavior. Each starts by constructing a temporary object of type std::basic_istream::sentry with the second argument (noskipws) set to true. 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 extract whatever data is appropriate for the type of the argument.

The number of characters extracted is stored for later retrieval by gcount().

If an exception is thrown during extraction, ios_base::badbit will be turned on in the stream's error state (without causing an ios_base::failure to be thrown) and the original exception will be rethrown if badbit is set in the exceptions mask.

Detailed Description

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits>

class std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >" Template class basic_istream.

Template Parameters

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

This is the base class for all input streams. It provides text formatting of all builtin types, and communicates with any class derived from basic_streambuf to do the actual input.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::basic_istream (__streambuf_type * __sb) [inline], [explicit]

Base constructor. This ctor is almost never called by the user directly, rather from derived classes' initialization lists, which pass a pointer to their own stream buffer.

Returns

*this

Characters are extracted and stored into __s until one of the following happens:

  • __n-1 characters are stored
  • the input sequence reaches EOF
  • the next character equals __delim, in which case the character is not extracted

If no characters are stored, failbit is set in the stream's error state.

In any case, a null character is stored into the next location in the array.

Note

This function is not overloaded on signed char and unsigned char.

Definition at line 317 of file istream.tcc.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > __istream_type& std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::getline (char_type * __s, streamsize __n) [inline]

Definition at line 427 of file istream.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits > & std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::getline (char_type * __s, streamsize __n, char_type __delim)

String extraction.

Parameters

__s A character array in which to store the data.
__n Maximum number of characters to extract.
__delim A 'stop' character.

Returns

*this

Extracts and stores characters into __s until one of the following happens. Note that these criteria are required to be tested in the order listed here, to allow an input line to exactly fill the __s array without setting failbit.

1.
the input sequence reaches end-of-file, in which case eofbit is set in the stream error state
2.
the next character equals __delim, in which case the character is extracted (and therefore counted in gcount()) but not stored
3.
__n-1 characters are stored, in which case failbit is set in the stream error state

If no characters are extracted, failbit is set. (An empty line of input should therefore not cause failbit to be set.)

In any case, a null character is stored in the next location in the array.

Simple extraction.

Returns

A character, or eof().

Tries to extract a character. If none are available, sets failbit and returns traits::eof().

Definition at line 501 of file istream.tcc.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits > & std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::ignore (streamsize __n, int_type __delim)

Discarding characters.

Parameters

__n Number of characters to discard.
__delim A 'stop' character.

Returns

*this

Extracts characters and throws them away until one of the following happens:

  • if __n != std::numeric_limits<int>::max(), __n characters are extracted
  • the input sequence reaches end-of-file
  • the next character equals __delim (in this case, the character is extracted); note that this condition will never occur if __delim equals traits::eof().

NB: Provide three overloads, instead of the single function (with defaults) mandated by the Standard: this leads to a better performing implementation, while still conforming to the Standard.

Definition at line 563 of file istream.tcc.

Interface for manipulators. Manipulators such as std::ws and std::dec use these functions in constructs like std::cin >> std::ws. For more information, see the iomanip header.

Definition at line 120 of file istream.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits > & std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::operator>> (__streambuf_type * __sb)

Extracting into 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 this stream and inserted into the __sb streambuf until one of the following occurs:

  • the input stream reaches end-of-file,
  • insertion into the output buffer fails (in this case, the character that would have been inserted is not extracted), or
  • an exception occurs (and in this case is caught)

If the function inserts no characters, failbit is set.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::int_type std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::peek

Looking ahead in the stream.

Returns

The next character, or eof().

If, after constructing the sentry object, good() is false, returns traits::eof(). Otherwise reads but does not extract the next input character.

Definition at line 628 of file istream.tcc.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits > & std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::putback (char_type __c)

Unextracting a single character.

Parameters

__c The character to push back into the input stream.

Returns

*this

If rdbuf() is not null, calls rdbuf()->sputbackc(c).

If rdbuf() is null or if sputbackc() fails, sets badbit in the error state.

Note

This function first clears eofbit. Since no characters are extracted, the next call to gcount() will return 0, as required by DR 60.

Definition at line 719 of file istream.tcc.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits > & std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::read (char_type * __s, streamsize __n)

Extraction without delimiters.

Parameters

__s A character array.
__n Maximum number of characters to store.

Returns

*this

If the stream state is good(), extracts characters and stores them into __s until one of the following happens:

  • __n characters are stored
  • the input sequence reaches end-of-file, in which case the error state is set to failbit|eofbit.

Note

This function is not overloaded on signed char and unsigned char.

Definition at line 658 of file istream.tcc.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > streamsize std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::readsome (char_type * __s, streamsize __n)

Extraction until the buffer is exhausted, but no more.

Parameters

__s A character array.
__n Maximum number of characters to store.

Returns

The number of characters extracted.

Extracts characters and stores them into __s depending on the number of characters remaining in the streambuf's buffer, rdbuf()->in_avail(), called A here:

  • if A == -1, sets eofbit and extracts no characters
  • if A == 0, extracts no characters
  • if A > 0, extracts min(A,n)

The goal is to empty the current buffer, and to not request any more from the external input sequence controlled by the streambuf.

Definition at line 687 of file istream.tcc.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits > & std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::seekg (off_type __off, ios_base::seekdir __dir)

Changing the current read position.

Parameters

__off A file offset object.
__dir The direction in which to seek.

Returns

*this

If fail() is not true, calls rdbuf()->pubseekoff(__off,__dir). If that function fails, sets failbit.

Note

This function first clears eofbit. It does not count the number of characters extracted, if any, and therefore does not affect the next call to gcount().

Definition at line 892 of file istream.tcc.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits > & std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::seekg (pos_type __pos)

Changing the current read position.

Parameters

__pos A file position object.

Returns

*this

If fail() is not true, calls rdbuf()->pubseekpos(__pos). If that function fails, sets failbit.

Note

This function first clears eofbit. It does not count the number of characters extracted, if any, and therefore does not affect the next call to gcount().

Definition at line 853 of file istream.tcc.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > void std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::swap (basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits > & __rhs) [inline], [protected]

Simple extraction.

Returns

A character, or eof().

Tries to extract a character. If none are available, sets failbit and returns traits::eof().

Definition at line 632 of file istream.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > int std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::sync

Synchronizing the stream buffer.

Returns

0 on success, -1 on failure

If rdbuf() is a null pointer, returns -1.

Otherwise, calls rdbuf()->pubsync(), and if that returns -1, sets badbit and returns -1.

Otherwise, returns 0.

Note

This function does not count the number of characters extracted, if any, and therefore does not affect the next call to gcount().

Definition at line 789 of file istream.tcc.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::pos_type std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::tellg

Getting the current read position.

Returns

A file position object.

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

Note

This function does not count the number of characters extracted, if any, and therefore does not affect the next call to gcount(). At variance with putback, unget and seekg, eofbit is not cleared first.

Definition at line 825 of file istream.tcc.

template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits > & std::basic_istream< _CharT, _Traits >::unget

Unextracting the previous character.

Returns

*this

If rdbuf() is not null, calls rdbuf()->sungetc(c).

If rdbuf() is null or if sungetc() fails, sets badbit in the error state.

Note

This function first clears eofbit. Since no characters are extracted, the next call to gcount() will return 0, as required by DR 60.
