Requirements

A UnformattedOutputFunction is a stream output function that performs the following:

1) Constructs an object of type basic_ostream::sentry with automatic storage duration, which performs the following:
2) Checks the status of the sentry by calling sentry::operator bool() , which is equivalent to basic_ios::good .
  • If the operator returns false or sentry's constructor throws an exception, no output takes place.
  • If the operator returns true , attempts to perform the desired output by inserting the characters into the output stream as if by calling rdbuf ( ) - > sputc ( ) . Other public members of std::basic_ostream may also be used, but virtual members of rdbuf ( ) except overflow() , xsputn() and sync() will never be called.
  • If an exception is thrown during output, sets badbit in the output stream. If exceptions on badbit are enabled in this stream's exception mask ( ( exceptions ( ) & badbit ) ! = 0 ), the exception is also rethrown.
  • If no exception was thrown, returns the value specified by the function.
3) In any event, whether terminating by exception or returning, the sentry's destructor is called before leaving this function.

Standard library

The following standard library functions are UnformattedOutputFunction s .

(since C++11)

Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
LWG 63 C++98 the exception-handling policy was missing added
LWG 160 C++98 the process of determining whether the exception caught
is rethrown mentioned a non-existing function exception() 		corrected to exceptions()
LWG 165 C++98 the only virtual member allowed to be
called on rdbuf ( ) was overflow() 		also allowed
xsputn() and sync()
