The only thing that I have issue with is this part: assert (check_use_facet<std::ctype_byname<char> >(named)); There is no verbiage in the standard that specifies that named locales use the _byname facets. This is implied in the test case given. I'm looking in N2461 at 22.1.1.2, where the const char* locale constructors were added. There is no specification of byname facets. >From 22.1.1.1.2 For some standard facets a standard . . ._byname class, derived from it, implements the virtual function semantics equivalent to that facet of the locale constructed by locale(const char*) with the same name. This doesn't actually require what this code asserts. ;) -benjamin -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34449
