function template
<locale>

std::isspace

template <class charT> bool isspace (charT c, const locale& loc);
Check if character is a white-space using locale
Checks whether c is a white-space character using the ctype facet of locale loc, returning the same as if ctype::is is called as:

1
use_facet < ctype<charT> > (loc).is (ctype_base::space, c)

This function template overloads the C function isspace (defined in <cctype>).

Parameters

c
Character to be checked.
loc
Locale to be used. It shall have a ctype facet.

The template argument charT is the character type.

Return Value

true if indeed c is a white-space character.
false otherwise.

Data races

Both loc and its ctype facet are accessed.

Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no effects.
