I wonder why the following code throws std::runtime_error
even though the LC_ALL is set to valid locale other than "C".
This does not occur only when LC_ALL is set to "C".
#include <locale>
int main()
{
std::locale("");
return 0;
}
In linux, this occurs only when the LC_ALL is set to invalid
locale (i.e. locale that is not registered in system).
Similarly,
std::locale("ja_JP.UTF-8")
throws std::runtime_error in cygwin.
Looks like the implementation does not like any default "" or explicit
"en_US.UTF-8" strings there! See example at link and below; results are always
the same:
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/locale/locale
#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
int main()
{
std::wcout << "User-preferred locale setting is "
<< std::locale().name().c_str() << '\n';
// on startup, the global locale is the "C" locale
std::wcout << 1000.01 << '\n';
// replace the C++ global locale and the "C" locale with the user-preferred
locale
std::locale::global(std::locale(""));
// use the new global locale for future wide character output
std::wcout.imbue(std::locale());
// output the same number again
std::wcout << 1000.01 << '\n';
}
$ g++ -o c++locale{,.cc}
$ ./c++locale
User-preferred locale setting is C
1000.01
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
