Please show the minimal code sample that reproduces the problem you describe. #include <iostream> #include <locale> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { std::cout << static_cast << std::endl; return 0; } Darko Back to top Fraser Ross Guest Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2005 2:56 pm    Post subject: Re: toupper "Darko Miletic" Quote: #include <iostream #include int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { std::cout << static_cast std::endl; return 0; } Are you sure you are not calling the C library function with the same name? Try this: std::toupper('a', std::locale::classic()); Fraser.

Perhaps that puts it in the proper namespace? Thats what I have included. Well, then it sounds like a bug in the RTL somewhere. Borland's strange way of promoting things into the global namespace depending on if you use the .h in the header name or not sometimes causes strange problems. Some standard headers use the whole std namespace, so if you include them with the .h, you get a LOT of stuff pulled in. Other files, however, individually use the items that are to be exposed from that header. I like this approach better, though pulling things into global namespace at all seems a hack that causes more problems than it solves. (I just wish it'd go away, and people had to use the proper namespace, and the langauge dictates they should be using.) But definately, if BCB *only* exposes a standard name in the global namespace, that's a problem. -- Chris (TeamB); Back to top Darko Miletic Guest Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2005 3:34 pm    Post subject: Re: toupper Fraser Ross wrote: Quote: Are you sure you are not calling the C library function with the same name? Try this: std::toupper('a', std::locale::classic()); Yes you are right. The bug is located in ctype.h header at line 159: #if defined( __USELOCALES__ ) .. .. //Here are toupper and tolower defined as inline functions that call C RTL functions. //That was done I guess because of some thing inside RW STL #endif //__USELOCALES__ To fix this just change the line 159 to look like this: #if defined( __USELOCALES__ ) && defined(_USE_OLD_RW_STL) After this change this code compiles fine both with STLport and RW STL #include <iostream> #include <locale> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { std::cout << static_cast std::locale::classic())) << std::endl; return 0; } Back to top Fraser Ross Guest Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2005 4:26 pm    Post subject: Re: toupper Thanks.

Back to top Fraser Ross Guest Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2005 6:18 pm    Post subject: Re: toupper Is it necessary to include locale before ctype to have access to all the functions or vice versa or either first? When I do this I get the error towlower is not a member of std at end of the ctype.h file and also similarly with towupper. Also there is a problem with using tolower in locale with a const char. Making your change, including locale before ctype and commenting out 2 lines in ctype.h gets one of my units compiling. Fraser.

When I do this I get the error towlower is not a member of std at end of the ctype.h file and also similarly with towupper. These two functions are part of C RTL. They are not defined in locale header. And that is because the std::tolower/toupper is template function that looks like this: template <class charT> charT toupper (charT c, const locale& loc) const; So to use equivalent of C RTL towupper use function like this: std::toupper<wchar_t> ('a',std::locale::classic()); Quote: Also there is a problem with using tolower in locale with a const char. What problem? Quote: Making your change, including locale before ctype and commenting out 2 lines in ctype.h gets one of my units compiling. There is no need to include ctype.h use instead new header cctype . #include <cctype> This program compiles and executes OK: #include <iostream> #include <locale> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { std::cout << std::toupper('a', std::locale::classic()) << std::endl; std::cout << std::tolower('A', std::locale::classic()) << std::endl; return 0; } Note: You can not test directly wcout since STLport has a bug that prevents wide char streams from working.

Well, in STLport ctype class is implemented in a bit strange way. There is only explicit instantiation for type char and wchar_t, not for const char or const wchar_t. It looks like this simplified(taken form <BCBfolder>includestl_ctype.h): // ctype<> template template <class charT> class ctype {}; template <class charT> class ctype_byname {}; //ctype specializations _STLP_TEMPLATE_NULL class _STLP_CLASS_DECLSPEC ctype<char> : public locale::facet, public ctype_base //... implementation for char _STLP_TEMPLATE_NULL class _STLP_CLASS_DECLSPEC ctype<wchar_t> : public locale::facet, public ctype_base //... implementation for wchar_t For anything other than char/wchar_t ctype is just an empty class, at least for borland compiler. So in order to tweak around this issue you will have to explicitly say which type instatiation to use for tolower/toupper like in this example: #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <locale> int main() { const char cchUpp = 'A'; const char cchDown = 'a'; char chUpp = 'A'; char chDown = 'a'; //const char (will not compile on bcb6) std::cout << std::toupper(cchDown,std::locale::classic()) << std::endl; std::cout << std::tolower(cchUpp,std::locale::classic()) << std::endl; //just char std::cout << std::toupper(chDown,std::locale::classic()) << std::endl; std::cout << std::tolower(chUpp,std::locale::classic()) << std::endl; //const char (this one will) std::cout << std::toupper std::endl; std::cout << std::tolower std::endl; return 0; } It is a bit ugly but that is bcb/STLport pair. Here are the test results for other compilers: - MSVC 7.1 w. dinkumware STL compiles OK - gcc 3.3.4 with libstdc++ compiles OK - gcc 3.3.4 with STLPort 5.0 compiles OK Darko Back to top Fraser Ross Guest Posted: Wed Aug 31, 2005 1:39 pm    Post subject: Re: toupper I still have trouble calling std::toupper('a'); I can call these functions: std::toupper('a', std::locale::classic()); std::tolower('a'); std::tolower('a', std::locale::classic()); I get the error: E2285 Could not find a match for '_STL::toupper<_CharT>(char)' I have had to comment out these lines at the end of ctype.h: //using std::tolower; // FR //using std::toupper; // FR //using std::towlower; // FR //using std::towupper; // FR Fraser.

I had some code using std::toupper() with a const char* and no locale. It was working until I include boost/format.hpp. Then it failed to compile (same error) unless I gave it a default locale. There was a thread about this in this group. It looked like ctype was getting pulled in from somewhere and toupper() was getting confused with std::toupper though I'm not sure. I "fixed" it like this: std::locale(loc); for(size_t i = 0, len = str.size(); i < len; ++i) str[i] = std::toupper(str[i],loc); } In my MSVC code, the default loc works but in my Borland code, I have to give it a locale arg.
