std::isblank(3)

NAME
std::isblank - std::isblank

Synopsis
   Defined in header <cctype>
   int isblank( int ch ); (since C++11)
   Checks if the given character is a blank character as classified by the currently
   installed C locale. Blank characters are whitespace characters used to separate
   words within a sentence. In the default C locale, only space (0x20) and horizontal
   tab (0x09) are classified as blank characters.
   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 blank character, zero otherwise.

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