std::basic_streambuf<CharT,Traits>::sungetc

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | io‎ | basic streambuf
 
 
 
 
int_type sungetc();

If a putback position is available in the get area (gptr()> eback()), then decrements the next pointer (gptr()) and returns the character it now points to.

If a putback position is not available, then calls pbackfail() to back up the input sequence if possible.

The I/O stream function basic_istream::unget is implemented in terms of this function.

[edit]Parameters

(none)

[edit]Return value

If putback position was available, returns the character that the next pointer is now pointing at, converted to int_type with Traits::to_int_type(*gptr()). The next single-character input from this streambuf will return this character.

If putback position was not available, returns what pbackfail() returns, which is Traits::eof() on failure.

[edit]Example

#include <iostream>#include <sstream>   int main(){std::stringstream s("abcdef");// gptr() points to 'a'char c1 = s.get();// c = 'a', gptr() now points to 'b' char c2 = s.rdbuf()->sungetc();// same as s.unget(): gptr() points to 'a' again char c3 = s.get();// c3 = 'a', gptr() now points to 'b'char c4 = s.get();// c4 = 'b', gptr() now points to 'c'std::cout<< c1 << c2 << c3 << c4 <<'\n';   s.rdbuf()->sungetc();// back to 'b' s.rdbuf()->sungetc();// back to 'a'int eof = s.rdbuf()->sungetc();// nothing to unget: pbackfail() failsif(eof ==EOF)std::cout<<"Nothing to unget after 'a'\n";}

Output:

aaab Nothing to unget after 'a'
