I've tried the above out by storing the current locale setting, changing it to "C" and then restoring the locale setting once read/write is finished and it seems to work (I installed a locale using commas as decimal point). But I was told not to do this (on stackoverflow), but without the reason why - and to use ieee754.h (which is no good considering I'm mainly using MPFR). Why is store/change/restore of locale bad?
