| Hi,
I got trouble when I try to change the locale used in a program foo.cc
// ----------------- begin
#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
#include <exception>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
try{
locale l(argv[1]);
cout.imbue(l);
cout << "Set locale to " << l.name() << " works" << endl;
}
catch (std::runtime_error& e)
{
cout << argv[1] << " : " << e.what() << endl;
}
}
// ----------------- end
g++ -o foo foo.cc
I try to set each locale on the locale unix machine :
for loc in `locale -a`; do ./foo $loc; done
Then some locale works, some not :
Set locale to C works
common : locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
en_US.UTF-8 : locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
Set locale to C works
iso_8859_1 : locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
iso_8859_15 : locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
en_CA : locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
en_CA.ISO8859-1 : locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
en_US : locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
en_US.ISO8859-1 : locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
en_US.ISO8859-15 : locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
en_US.ISO8859-15@euro : locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not
valid
fr_CA : locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
fr_CA.ISO8859-1 : locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
If I change compiler from g++ to CC, more locale are allowed.
Set locale to C works
common : System does not recognize this locale name
Set locale to en_US.UTF-8 works
Set locale to C works
iso_8859_1 : System does not recognize this locale name
iso_8859_15 : System does not recognize this locale name
Set locale to en_CA works
Set locale to en_CA.ISO8859-1 works
Set locale to en_US works
Set locale to en_US.ISO8859-1 works
Set locale to en_US.ISO8859-15 works
Set locale to en_US.ISO8859-15@euro works
Set locale to fr_CA works
Set locale to fr_CA.ISO8859-1 works
.... Ok for iso_8859_15, the library
/usr/lib/locale/iso_8859_1/iso_8859_15.so.2 does not exists,
but the lib /usr/lib/locale/iso_8859_1/iso_8859_1.so.2 exists.
Why is there differences between two compilers ?
Why a locale is not accepted, despite an existing library ?
thanks for your help.
