Re: locale-related printf bug when using formats with thousands grouping character

[Andrew J. Schorr]

Thanks for the confirmation.  I opened a glibc bug on this.

http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12394

Here is some sample code to demonstrate the problem (attached to the bug
report):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>

int
main(void)
{
   double x;

   setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "");
   while (scanf("%lf",&x) == 1)
      printf("%'.2f\n",x);
   return 0;
}

Regards,
Andy
