std::basic_filebuf<CharT,Traits>::pbackfail - cppreference.com

protected:
virtual int_type pbackfail( int_type c = Traits::eof() )

This protected virtual function is called by the public functions basic_streambuf::sungetc and basic_streambuf::sputbackc (which, in turn, are called by basic_istream::unget and basic_istream::putback).

1)

The caller is requesting that the get area is backed up by one character (

pbackfail()

is called with no arguments), in which case, this function re-reads the file starting one byte earlier and decrements

basic_streambuf::gptr()

, e.g. by calling

gbump(-1)

.

2) The caller attempts to putback a different character from the one retrieved earlier (pbackfail() is called with the character that needs to be put back), in which case

a) First, checks if there is a putback position, and if there isn't, backs up the get area by re-reading the file starting one byte earlier.

a)

Then checks what character is in the putback position. If the character held there is already equal to

c

, as determined by

Traits::eq(to_char_type(c), gptr()[-1])

, then simply decrements

basic_streambuf::gptr()

.

b)

Otherwise, if the buffer is allowed to modify its own get area, decrements

basic_streambuf::gptr()

and writes

c

to the location pointed to gptr() after adjustment.

This function never modifies the file, only the get area of the in-memory buffer.

If the file is not open (is_open()==false, this function returns Traits::eof() immediately.

[edit] Parameters c - the character to put back, or Traits::eof() to indicate that backing up of the get area is requested [edit] Return value

c on success except if c was Traits::eof(), in which case Traits::not_eof(c) is returned.

Traits::eof() on failure.
