Defined in header <cwctype>
int iswspace( wint_t ch );

Checks if the given wide character is a wide whitespace character as classified by the currently installed C locale. In the default locale, the whitespace characters are the following:

• Space (0x20, ' ')
• Form feed (0x0c, '\f')
• Line feed (0x0a, '\n')
• Carriage return (0x0d, '\r')
• Horizontal tab (0x09, '\t')
• Vertical tab (0x0b, '\v').

If the value of ch is neither representable as a wchar_t nor equal to the value of the macro WEOF, the behavior is undefined.

Parameters

ch

-

wide character

Return value

Non-zero value if the wide character is a whitespace character, zero otherwise.

Notes

ISO 30112 defines POSIX space characters as Unicode characters U+0009..U+000D, U+0020, U+1680, U+180E, U+2000..U+2006, U+2008..U+200A, U+2028, U+2029, U+205F, and U+3000.

Example

Demonstrates the use of iswspace with different locales.

Run this code

#include <clocale>#include <cwctype>#include <iostream>   void try_with(wchar_t c, constchar* loc){std::setlocale(LC_ALL, loc);std::wcout<<"isspace('"<< c <<"') in "<< loc <<" locale returned "<<std::boolalpha<<static_cast<bool>(std::iswspace(c))<<'\n';}   int main(){constwchar_t EM_SPACE = L'\u2003';// Unicode character 'EM SPACE' try_with(EM_SPACE, "C"); try_with(EM_SPACE, "en_US.UTF8");}

Output:

isspace(' ') in C locale returned false isspace(' ') in en_US.UTF8 locale returned true
