std::ctype::toupper,std::ctype::do_toupper(3)

NAME
std::ctype::toupper,std::ctype::do_toupper - std::ctype::toupper,std::ctype::do_toupper

Synopsis
   Defined in header <locale>
   public: (1)
   CharT toupper( CharT c ) const;
   public: (2)
   const CharT* toupper( CharT* beg, const CharT* end ) const;
   protected: (3)
   virtual CharT do_toupper( CharT c ) const;
   protected: (4)
   virtual const CharT* do_toupper( CharT* beg, const CharT* end ) const;
   1,2) Public member function, calls the protected virtual member function do_toupper
   of the most derived class.
   3) Converts the character c to upper case if an upper case form is defined by this
   locale.
   4) For every character in the character array [beg, end), for which an upper case
   form exists, replaces the character with that upper case form.

Parameters
   c - character to convert
   beg - pointer to the first character in an array of characters to convert
   end - one past the end pointer for the array of characters to convert

Return value
   1,3) Upper case character or c if no upper case form is listed by this locale.
   2,4) end

Notes
   Only 1:1 character mapping can be performed by this function, e.g. the uppercase
   form of 'ß' is the two-character string "SS" (with some exceptions - see «Capital
   ẞ»), which cannot be obtained by do_toupper.

Example
// Run this code
 #include <iostream>
 #include <locale>
 void try_upper(const std::ctype<wchar_t>& f, wchar_t c)
 {
     wchar_t up = f.toupper(c);
     if (up != c)
         std::wcout << "Upper case form of \'" << c << "' is " << up << '\n';
     else
         std::wcout << '\'' << c << "' has no upper case form\n";
 }
 int main()
 {
     std::locale::global(std::locale("en_US.utf8"));
     std::wcout.imbue(std::locale());
     std::wcout << "In US English UTF-8 locale:\n";
     auto& f = std::use_facet<std::ctype<wchar_t>>(std::locale());
     try_upper(f, L's');
     try_upper(f, L'ſ');
     try_upper(f, L'δ');
     try_upper(f, L'ö');
     try_upper(f, L'ß');
     std::wstring str = L"Hello, World!";
     std::wcout << "Uppercase form of the string '" << str << "' is ";
     f.toupper(&str[0], &str[0] + str.size());
     std::wcout << '\'' << str << "'\n";
 }

Output:
 In US English UTF-8 locale:
 Upper case form of 's' is S
 Upper case form of 'ſ' is S
 Upper case form of 'δ' is Δ
 Upper case form of 'ö' is Ö
 'ß' has no upper case form
 Uppercase form of the string 'Hello, World!' is 'HELLO, WORLD!'
