Description

The class template boost::iostreams::char_traits is a derived class of std::char_traits which has an additional static function would_block, used to indicate that an attempt to read a character has failed because no input is currently available.

The constants WOULD_BLOCK and WWOULD_BLOCK are provided for convenience.

Synopsis

namespace boost { namespace iostreams {

const int WOULD_BLOCK;

const std::wint_t WWOULD_BLOCK;

template<typename Ch>
class char_traits : public std::char_traits<Ch> {
    static typename std::char_traits<Ch>::int_type would_block();
};

} } // End namespace boost::io

Constant `WOULD_BLOCK`

    const int WOULD_BLOCK;

The return value of char_traits<char>::would_block. Used by the function template get to indicate that no character could be returned because input was temporarily unavailable.

Constant `WWOULD_BLOCK`

    const std::wint_t WWOULD_BLOCK;

The return value of char_traits<wchar_t>::would_block. Used by the function template get to indicate that no character could be returned because input was temporarily unavailable.

Class Template `boost::iostreams::char_traits`

Template parameters

The character type

`char_traits::would_block`

    static typename std::char_traits<Ch>::int_type would_block();

Returns an instance of int_type used by the function template get to indicate that an attempt to read a character from a Source has failed because no input is currently available. Future attempts to read a character may succeed.
