NAME
std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::sentry - Performs setup work for
output streams.
SYNOPSIS
#include <ostream>
Public Member Functions
sentry (basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits > &__os)
The constructor performs preparatory work.
~sentry ()
Possibly flushes the stream.
operator bool () const
Quick status checking.
Detailed Description
template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits>
class std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::sentry"Performs setup work
for output streams.
Objects of this class are created before all of the standard inserters
are run. It is responsible for exception-safe prefix and suffix
operations.
Constructor & Destructor Documentation
template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > std::basic_ostream< _CharT,
_Traits >::sentry::sentry (basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits > & __os)
[explicit]
The constructor performs preparatory work.
Parameters
__os The output stream to guard.
If the stream state is good (__os.good() is true), then if the stream is
tied to another output stream, is.tie()->flush() is called to
synchronize the output sequences.
If the stream state is still good, then the sentry state becomes true
(okay).
References std::ios_base::failbit.
template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > std::basic_ostream< _CharT,
_Traits >::sentry::~sentry () [inline]
Possibly flushes the stream. If ios_base::unitbuf is set in os.flags(),
and std::uncaught_exception() is true, the sentry destructor calls
flush() on the output stream.
Member Function Documentation
template<typename _CharT , typename _Traits > std::basic_ostream< _CharT,
_Traits >::sentry::operator bool () const [inline], [explicit]
Quick status checking.
Returns
The sentry state.
For ease of use, sentries may be converted to booleans. The return value
is that of the sentry state (true == okay).
