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 >::basic_ostream::sentry::sentry ( basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits > &  __os  )  [inline, 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").

Definition at line 47 of file ostream.tcc.

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits>
std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::basic_ostream::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.

Definition at line 405 of file ostream.

References std::uncaught_exception(), and std::unitbuf().


Member Function Documentation

template<typename _CharT, typename _Traits>
std::basic_ostream< _CharT, _Traits >::basic_ostream::sentry::operator bool (  )  const [inline]

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).
