std::isprint(3)		      C++ Standard Libary	       std::isprint(3)

NAME
       std::isprint - std::isprint

Synopsis
	  Defined in header <cctype>
	  int isprint( int ch );

	  Checks if ch is a printable character	as classified by the currently
       installed C
	  locale.  In  the  default,  "C" locale, the following	characters are
       printable:

	    * digits (0123456789)
	    * uppercase	letters	(ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ)
	    * lowercase	letters	(abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz)
	    * punctuation characters (!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~)
	    * space (  )

	  The behavior is undefined if the value of ch is not representable as
       unsigned	char
	  and is not equal to EOF.

Parameters
	  ch - character to classify

Return value
	  Non-zero value if the	character can be printed, zero otherwise.

Notes
	  Like all other functions from	<cctype>, the behavior of std::isprint
       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:

	bool my_isprint(char ch)
	{
	    return std::isprint(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:

	int count_prints(const std::string& s)
	{
	    return std::count_if(s.begin(), s.end(),
			      //	static_cast<int(*)(int)>(std::isprint)
       // wrong
			      //  [](int   c){	 return	  std::isprint(c);   }
       // wrong
			      //   [](char   c){   return  std::isprint(c);  }
       // wrong
				 [](unsigned char c){ return  std::isprint(c);
       } // correct
				);
	}

Example
       // Run this code

	#include <iostream>
	#include <cctype>
	#include <clocale>

	int main()
	{
	    unsigned char c = '\xa0'; // the non-breaking space	in ISO-8859-1

	    std::cout << "isprint(\'\\xa0\', default C locale) returned	"
		       << std::boolalpha << (bool)std::isprint(c) << '\n';

	    std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_GB.iso88591");
	    std::cout << "isprint(\'\\xa0\', ISO-8859-1	locale)	returned "
		      << std::boolalpha	<< (bool)std::isprint(c) << '\n';
	}

Output:
	isprint('\xa0',	default	C locale) returned false
	isprint('\xa0',	ISO-8859-1 locale) returned true
