std::basic_istream::gcount(3) C++ Standard Libarystd::basic_istream::gcount(3) NAME std::basic_istream::gcount - std::basic_istream::gcount Synopsis std::streamsize gcount() const; Returns the number of characters extracted by the last unformatted input operation, or the maximum representable value of std::streamsize if the number is not representable. The following member functions of basic_istream change the value of subsequent gcount() calls: * move constructor * swap() * get() * getline() * ignore() * read() * readsome() * operator>>(basic_streambuf*) The following functions set gcount() to zero: * constructor * putback() * unget() * peek() Parameters (none) Return value The number of characters extracted by the last unformatted input op- eration, or the maximum representable value of std::streamsize if the number is not representable. Example // Run this code #include <iostream> #include <sstream> int main() { char x[20]; std::istringstream stream("Hello World"); stream.read(x, sizeof x); std::cout << "Characters extracted: " << stream.gcount(); } Output: Characters extracted: 11 Defect reports The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroac- tively to previously published C++ standards.
