Bug ID: 70493
Summary: std::setlocale("") throws exception
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libstdc++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: michi at triodia dot com
Target Milestone: ---
#include <locale>
int main(int, char**)
{
std::locale("");
}
Compile with --std=c++11 and run with
$ LC_ALL= LC_MONETARY=bad ./a.out
This aborts with a std::runtime_error: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name
not valid
From the C++ 11 spec, 22.3.1.2/8:
"Remarks: The set of valid string argument values is "C", "", and any
implementation-defined values."
By definition, "C" and "" are valid arguments, so I don't think this is allowed
to throw?
