<H2>Description</H2>
<P>
The class templates <CODE>code_converter</CODE> is a <SPAN CLASS="term">Device adapter</SPAN> which takes a Device with a narrow <A HREF="../guide/traits.html#char_type">character type</A> — typically <CODE>char</CODE> — and produces a Device with wide character type — typically <CODE>wchar_t</CODE> — by introducing a layer of <A HREF="../guide/code_conversion.html">code conversion</A>. The code conversion is performed using a <CODE>std::codecvt</CODE> facet which can either be specified as a template parameter or be fetched from a <CODE>std::locale</CODE> provided at runtime.
</P>
<P>
For example, we can define a wide-character Device for reading from a memory-mapped file as follows:
<PRE CLASS="broken_ie"> <SPAN CLASS="preprocessor">#include</SPAN> <A CLASS="header" HREF="../../../../boost/iostreams/device/mapped_file.hpp"><SPAN CLASS="literal">&lt;boost/iostreams/maped_file.hpp&gt;</SPAN></A>
<SPAN CLASS="keyword">typedef</SPAN> code_converter&lt;mapped_file_source&gt; my_source;</PRE>
Similarly, we can define a wide-character Device which writes multibyte characters to an in-memory character sequence as follows:
<PRE CLASS="broken_ie"> <SPAN CLASS="preprocessor">#include</SPAN> <A CLASS="header" HREF="../../../../boost/iostreams/device/array.hpp"><SPAN CLASS="literal">&lt;boost/iostreams/device/array.hpp&gt;</SPAN></A>
<SPAN CLASS="keyword">typedef</SPAN> code_converter&lt;array_sink&gt; my_sink;</PRE>
</P>
<P>
The <A HREF="../guide/modes.html">mode</A> of a specialization of <CODE>code_converter</CODE> is determined as follows. If a narrow character Device is read-only, the resulting specialization of <CODE>code_converter</CODE> has mode <A HREF="../guide/modes.html#input">input</A>. If a narrow character Device is write-only, the resulting specialization of <CODE>code_converter</CODE> has mode <A HREF="../guide/modes.html#output">output</A>. If a narrow character Device performs input and output using two distinct sequences (<I>see</I> <A HREF="../guide/modes.html">Modes</A>), the resulting specialization of <CODE>code_converter</CODE> has mode <A HREF="../guide/modes.html#bidirectional">bidirectional</A>. Otherwise, attempting to spcialize <CODE>code_converter</CODE> results in a compile-time error.

<P>
The first member constructs a <CODE>code_converter</CODE> with no associated instance of the Device type <CODE>Device</CODE>. Before the instance can be used for i/o, the member function <CODE>open()</CODE> must be invoked.
</P>
<P>
The second member constructs a <CODE>code_converter</CODE> based on the given instance of <CODE>Device</CODE>. The second parameter determines the size of the buffers or buffers used for code conversion. If a <CODE>std::codecvt</CODE> was specified as a template parameter, an instance of it will be default constructed. Otherwise, a copy of the global <CODE>locale</CODE> will be made, and an instance of <CODE>std::codecvt&lt;wchar_t, char, std::mbstate_t&gt;</CODE> will be fetched from it.
</P>
<P>
The third member constructs a <CODE>code_converter</CODE> based on the given instance of <CODE>Device</CODE> constructed with the forwarded arguments. Take care as the <CODE>buffer_size</CODE> can be confused for a constructor argument if it isn't an <CODE>int</CODE>.<br>

Used to specify a locale from which a <CODE>std::codecvt</CODE> facet will be fetched to perform code conversion. The effect of invoking imbue while code conversion is in progress is undefined.

Associates the given instance of <CODE>Device</CODE> with <CODE>this</CODE> instance of <CODE>code_converter</CODE>, if there is no such instance currently associated; otherwise, throws <CODE>std::ios_base::failure</CODE>. The second parameter determines the size of the buffer or buffers used for code conversion. If a <CODE>std::codecvt</CODE> was specified as a template parameter, an instance of it will be default constructed.

<P>
Disassociates from <CODE>this</CODE> instance of <CODE>code_converter</CODE> any instance of the Device type <CODE>Device</CODE> currently associated with it, calling cleanup functions as appropriate and destroying the associated instance of <CODE>Device</CODE>.
