facet Class
A class that serves as the base class for all locale facets.
class facet {
protected:
explicit facet(
size_t _Refs = 0
);
virtual ~facet( );
private:
facet(const facet&) // not defined
void operator=(const facet&) // not defined
};
Remarks
Note that you cannot copy or assign an object of class facet. You can construct and destroy objects derived from class locale::facet but not objects of the base class proper. Typically, you construct an object _Myfac derived from facet when you construct a locale, as in locale loc(locale::classic( ), new _Myfac);
In such cases, the constructor for the base class facet should have a zero _Refs argument. When the object is no longer needed, it is deleted. Thus, you supply a nonzero _Refs argument only in those rare cases where you take responsibility for the lifetime of the object.
