Attached a small example taken from Bruce Eckel Thinking in C++
On cygwin both this call
cout.imbue(locale("en_US.UTF-8"));
cout.imbue(locale("fr_FR.UTF-8"));
raise exception
"terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
Aborted (core dumped)"
I could understand eventually the second one, but "English (US)" is
the current windows locale so I expected that at least "en_US.UTF-8"
is accepted.
What I am missing ?
This doesn't look like a Cygwin issue. The above error
"locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid" points to some
problem in the library implementing the locale call. The underlying
plain C call setlocale should work fine.

g++ 4.5.3 seems to have a problem on cygwin.
setlocale on pure C is working
(modified from
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/clocale/setlocale/)
$ ./setlocale.exe
Locale is: C

Dave,
it could be related to libstdc++ built with a different
--enable-clocale option ?
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/build.html
Or that functionality is not available on cygwin ?

Marco
