std::isspace(3)

NAME
std::isspace - std::isspace

Synopsis
   Defined in header <cctype>
   int isspace( int ch );
   Checks if the given character is whitespace character as classified by the currently
   installed C locale. In the default locale, the whitespace characters are the
   following:
     * space (0x20, ' ')
     * form feed (0x0c, '\f')
     * line feed (0x0a, '\n')
     * carriage return (0x0d, '\r')
     * horizontal tab (0x09, '\t')
     * vertical tab (0x0b, '\v')
   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 is a whitespace character, zero otherwise.

Notes
   Like all other functions from <cctype>, the behavior of std::isspace 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_isspace(char ch)
 {
     return std::isspace(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_spaces(const std::string& s)
 {
     return std::count_if(s.begin(), s.end(),
                       // static_cast<int(*)(int)>(std::isspace) // wrong
                       // [](int c){ return std::isspace(c); } // wrong
                       // [](char c){ return std::isspace(c); } // wrong
                        [](unsigned char c){ return std::isspace(c); } // correct
                        );
 }
