function template
<locale>
std::toupper
template <class charT> charT toupper (charT c, const locale& loc);
Convert lowercase letter to uppercase using locale
Converts parameter c to its uppercase equivalent if c is a lowercase letter and has an uppercase equivalent, as determined by the ctype facet of locale loc. If no such conversion is possible, the value returned is c unchanged.
This function returns the same as if ctype::toupper is called as:
1
|
use_facet < ctype<charT> > (loc).toupper (c)
|
This function template overloads the C function toupper (defined in <cctype>).
Parameters
- c
- Character to be converted.
- loc
- Locale to be used. It shall have a ctype facet.
The template argument charT is the character type.
Return Value
The uppercase equivalent to c, if any. Or c unchanged otherwise.

// toupper example (C++)
#include <iostream> // std::cout
#include <string> // std::string
#include <locale> // std::locale, std::toupper
int main ()
{
std::locale loc;
std::string str="Test String.\n";
for (std::string::size_type i=0; i<str.length(); ++i)
std::cout << std::toupper(str[i],loc);
return 0;
}

Output:
Data races
Both loc and its ctype facet are accessed.
Exception safety
Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no effects.
