Converts the given character to uppercase according to the character conversion rules defined by the currently installed C locale.
In the default "C" locale, the following lowercase letters abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
are replaced with respective uppercase letters ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
.
Converted character or ch if no uppercase version is defined by the current C locale.
[edit] NotesLike all other functions from <cctype>, the behavior of std::toupper
is undefined if the argument's value is neither representable as unsigned char nor equal to EOF. To use these functions safely with plain chars (or signed chars), the argument should first be converted to unsigned char:
char my_toupper(char ch) { return static_cast<char>(std::toupper(static_cast<unsigned char>(ch))); }
Similarly, they should not be directly used with standard algorithms when the iterator's value type is char or signed char. Instead, convert the value to unsigned char first:
std::string str_toupper(std::string s) { std::transform(s.begin(), s.end(), s.begin(), // static_cast<int(*)(int)>(std::toupper) // wrong // [](int c){ return std::toupper(c); } // wrong // [](char c){ return std::toupper(c); } // wrong [](unsigned char c){ return std::toupper(c); } // correct ); return s; }[edit] Example
#include <cctype> #include <climits> #include <clocale> #include <iostream> #include <ranges> int main() { for (auto bd{0}; unsigned char lc : std::views::iota(0, UCHAR_MAX)) if (unsigned char uc = std::toupper(lc); uc != lc) std::cout << lc << uc << (13 == ++bd ? '\n' : ' '); std::cout << "\n\n"; unsigned char c = '\xb8'; // the character ž in ISO-8859-15 // but ¸ (cedilla) in ISO-8859-1 std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.iso88591"); std::cout << std::hex << std::showbase; std::cout << "in iso8859-1, toupper('0xb8') gives " << std::toupper(c) << '\n'; std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.iso885915"); std::cout << "in iso8859-15, toupper('0xb8') gives " << std::toupper(c) << '\n'; }
Output:
aA bB cC dD eE fF gG hH iI jJ kK lL mM nN oO pP qQ rR sS tT uU vV wW xX yY zZ in iso8859-1, toupper('0xb8') gives 0xb8 in iso8859-15, toupper('0xb8') gives 0xb4[edit] See also [edit] External links
