bool isctype( CharT c, char_class_type f )const;

Determines whether the character c belongs to the character class identified by f, which, in turn, is a value returned by lookup_classname() or a bitwise OR of several such values.

The version of this function provided in the standard library specializations of std::regex_traits does the following:

1) First converts f to a value m of type std::ctype_base::mask.
For each std::ctype category listed in the table in the page lookup_classname(), if the bits in f corresponding to the category are set, the corresponding bits in m will also be set.
2) Then attempts to classify the character in the imbued locale by calling std::use_facet<std::ctype<CharT>>(getloc()).is(m, c).
  • If that returns true, isctype() will also return true.
  • Otherwise, if c equals '_', and f includes the result of calling lookup_classname() for the character class [:w:], true is returned, otherwise false is returned.

[edit]Parameters

c - the character to classify
f - the bitmask obtained from one or several calls to lookup_classname()

[edit]Return value

true if c is classified by f, false otherwise.

[edit]Example

#include <iostream>#include <regex>#include <string>   int main(){std::regex_traits<char> t;std::string str_alnum ="alnum";auto a = t.lookup_classname(str_alnum.begin(), str_alnum.end());std::string str_w ="w";// [:w:] is [:alnum:] plus '_'auto w = t.lookup_classname(str_w.begin(), str_w.end());std::cout<<std::boolalpha<< t.isctype('A', w)<<' '<< t.isctype('A', a)<<'\n'<< t.isctype('_', w)<<' '<< t.isctype('_', a)<<'\n'<< t.isctype(' ', w)<<' '<< t.isctype(' ', a)<<'\n';}

Output:

true true true false false false

Demonstrates a custom regex traits implementation of lookup_classname() / isctype():

#include <cwctype>#include <iostream>#include <locale>#include <regex>   // This custom regex traits uses wctype/iswctype to implement lookup_classname/isctype.struct wctype_traits :std::regex_traits<wchar_t>{using char_class_type =std::wctype_t;   template<class It> char_class_type lookup_classname(It first, It last, bool=false)const{returnstd::wctype(std::string(first, last).c_str());}   bool isctype(wchar_t c, char_class_type f)const{returnstd::iswctype(c, f);}};   int main(){std::locale::global(std::locale("ja_JP.utf8"));std::wcout.sync_with_stdio(false);std::wcout.imbue(std::locale());   std::wsmatch m;std::wstring in = L"風の谷のナウシカ";// matches all characters (they are classified as alnum)std::regex_search(in, m, std::wregex(L"([[:alnum:]]+)"));std::wcout<<"alnums: "<< m[1]<<'\n';// prints "風の谷のナウシカ"// matches only the katakanastd::regex_search(in, m, std::basic_regex<wchar_t, wctype_traits>(L"([[:jkata:]]+)"));std::wcout<<"katakana: "<< m[1]<<'\n';// prints "ナウシカ"}

Output:

alnums: 風の谷のナウシカ katakana: ナウシカ
