static int xalloc(); |
Returns a unique (program-wide) index value that can be used to access one long and one void* elements in the private storage of std::ios_base by calling iword() and pword(). The call to xalloc does not allocate memory.
This function is thread-safe; concurrent access by multiple threads does not result in a data race. (since C++14).
Effectively increments a private static data member of std::ios_base, as if by executing return index++;, if index is the name of that static member (which may be std::atomic to support concurrent access by multiple threads, or otherwise synchronized) (since C++14).
(none).
Unique integer for use as pword/iword index.
Uses base class pword storage for runtime type identification of derived stream objects.

}
int main()

std::cout << "cout, narrow-character test " << mymanip << '\n';
mystream<char> myout(std::cout);
myout << "myout, narrow-character test " << mymanip << '\n';
std::wcout << "wcout, wide-character test " << mymanip << '\n';
mystream<wchar_t> mywout(std::wcout);
mywout << "mywout, wide-character test " << mymanip << '\n';
}Output:
cout, narrow-character test myout, narrow-character test [special handling for mystream] wcout, wide-character test mywout, wide-character test [special handling for mystream]
