Re: LOCALE ERROR

[Marcelo Rezende Módolo]

I read the man pages "man setlocale", "man strftime" and find a mistake 
in str format.
I use ' if (!strftime((char *)str, 100, "%#x", (const struct tm 
*)thetime))' but the correct is
' if (!strftime((char *)str, 100, "%x", (const struct tm *)thetime))'...
But I still have the same output for all setlocale I use.
setlocale(LC_ALL, "C");
setlocale(LC_ALL, "pt_BR");
setlocale(LC_ALL, "ja");
...
$ ./crt_locale.exe
'Mon Dec 08 2003'
'Mon Dec 08 2003'
'Mon Dec 08 2003'
'Mon Dec 08 2003'

thanks,
Marcelo Modolo

Hi,
I have a program that needs the locale support, so I include 'locale.h'.
I make the program but the output was wrong.
With the cygwin library the setlocale function do not work, but if I
link with mingw library it is ok I am sending a sample program that
demonstrate the error.
Linking with CYGWIN:
    [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/src/testes/locale/msdn
    $ gcc -o crt_locale crt_locale.c
    [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/src/testes/locale/msdn
    $
    $ ./crt_locale.exe
    In German locale, strftime returns 'x'
    No Brasil locale, strftime retorna 'x'
    In 'C' locale, strftime returns 'x'

    $ gcc -mno-cygwin -o crt_locale crt_locale.c

    $
    $ ./crt_locale.exe
    In German locale, strftime returns 'Sonntag, 07. Dezember 2003'
    No Brasil locale, strftime retorna 'domingo, 07 de dezembro de 2003'
    In 'C' locale, strftime returns 'Sunday, December 07, 2003'

"man setlocale", "man strftime".
