Usage notes and limitations: With MATLAB Coder™ Support Package for NVIDIA ® Jetson ® and NVIDIA DRIVE™ Platforms, you can generate CUDA ® code for the MATLAB VideoReader object to read files containing video data on the NVIDIA target hardware. Disagree as much as you like, it isn't my definition, it is the C standard's definition of what a reference is in the C language. In the OP's example, buf is a reference to char type. The fact that the reference in itself is passed by value, is another matter. – Lundin Apr 12 '12 at 14:28. Character Reference Letter for a Friend: Writing a reference letter is a responsibility. If a friend or colleague has reached out to you for writing a letter then check out the sample character reference letters shared here. There are many instances where a character reference letter is required such as; applying for a job; legal or court matters.

(5) (since C++17)

Analyzes the character sequence [first,last) for a pattern described below. If no characters match the pattern or if the value obtained by parsing the matched characters is not representable in the type of value, value is unmodified, otherwise the characters matching the pattern are interpreted as a text representation of an arithmetic value, which is stored in value.

1) Integer parsers: Expects the pattern identical to the one used by std::strtol in the default ('C') locale and the given non-zero numeric base, except that
  • '0x' or '0X' prefixes are not recognized for base 16
  • only the minus sign is recognized (not the plus sign), and only for signed integer types of value.
The library provides overloads for all signed and unsigned integer types and char as the referenced type of the parameter value.2-4) Floating-point parsers: Expects the pattern identical to the one used by std::strtod in the default ('C') locale, except that
  • the plus sign is not recognized outside of the exponent (only the minus sign is permitted at the beginning)
  • if fmt has std::chars_format::scientific set but not std::chars_format::fixed, the exponent part is required (otherwise it is optional)
  • if fmt has std::chars_format::fixed set but not std::chars_format::scientific, the optional exponent is not permitted
  • if fmt is std::chars_format::hex, the prefix '0x' or '0X' is not permitted (the string '0x123' parses as the value '0' with unparsed remainder 'x123').
In any case, the resulting value is one of at most two floating-point values closest to the value of the string matching the pattern, after rounding according to std::round_to_nearest.Ref
5) The return type (see Return value below). std::from_chars_result has no base classes, or members other than ptr, ec and implicitly declared special member functions.
  • 3operator(std::from_chars_result)

[edit]Parameters

first, last - valid character range to parse
value - the out-parameter where the parsed value is stored if successful
base - integer base to use: a value between 2 and 36 (inclusive).
fmt - floating-point formatting to use, a bitmask of type std::chars_format

[edit]Return value

On success, returns a value of type from_chars_result such that ptr points at the first character not matching the pattern, or has the value equal to last if all characters match and ec is value-initialized.

If there is no pattern match, returns a value of type from_chars_result such that ptr equals first and ec equals std::errc::invalid_argument. value is unmodified.

CHAR REF

If the pattern was matched, but the parsed value is not in the range representable by the type of value, returns value of type from_chars_result such that ec equals std::errc::result_out_of_range and ptr points at the first character not matching the pattern. value is unmodified.

operator(std::from_chars_result)

friendbool operator(const from_chars_result&,
const from_chars_result&)=default;
(since C++20)

Checks if ptr and ec of both arguments are equal respectively.

Char Ref Gas

This function is not visible to ordinary unqualified or qualified lookup, and can only be found by argument-dependent lookup when std::from_chars_result is an associated class of the arguments.

[edit]Exceptions

Throws nothing.

[edit]Notes

Unlike other parsing functions in C++ and C libraries, std::from_chars is locale-independent, non-allocating, and non-throwing. Only a small subset of parsing policies used by other libraries (such as std::sscanf) is provided. This is intended to allow the fastest possible implementation that is useful in common high-throughput contexts such as text-based interchange (JSON or XML).

The guarantee that std::from_chars can recover every floating-point value formatted by std::to_chars exactly is only provided if both functions are from the same implementation.

A pattern consisting of a sign with no digits following it is treated as pattern that did not match anything.
