vprint_unicode(std::ostream)

Defined in header <ostream>
void vprint_unicode( std::ostream& os, std::string_view fmt, std::format_args args );
(since C++23)

Behaves as FormattedOutputFunction (except that some details of error reporting differ):

  • First, the function constructs and checks the sentry object.
  • Then, initializes an automatic variable as if by std::string out = std::vformat(os.getloc(), fmt, args);.
  • Finally, inserts the character sequence [out.begin(), out.end()) into os, that is, if os refers to a terminal capable of displaying Unicode, writes out to this terminal using the native Unicode API. Otherwise, writes unmodified out to the os.

Parameters

os - output stream to insert data into
fmt - an object that represents the format string. The format string consists of
  • ordinary characters (except { and }), which are copied unchanged to the output,
  • escape sequences {{ and }}, which are replaced with { and } respectively in the output, and
  • replacement fields.

Each replacement field has the following format:

{ arg-id (optional) } (1)
{ arg-id (optional) : format-spec } (2)
1) replacement field without a format specification 2) replacement field with a format specification
arg-id - specifies the index of the argument in args whose value is to be used for formatting; if it is omitted, the arguments are used in order.

The arg-ids in a format string must all be present or all be omitted. Mixing manual and automatic indexing is an error.

format-spec - the format specification defined by the std::formatter specialization for the corresponding argument.
args - arguments to be formatted

Return value

(none).

Exceptions

Notes

If invoking the native Unicode API requires transcoding, the invalid code units are substituted with U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER (see "The Unicode Standard Version 14.0 - Core Specification", Chapter 3.9).
