Is the requirement that all threads be in the same locale ? Or that the thread that calls strtod() not use setlocale() at all ? Or maybe that setlocale() not be called by anyone after threads are created ? Or even that setlocale() not be used AT ALL by the process ? It's not obvious to me which it is ! I think that a more specific wording would be useful. --=20 Andr=E9 Majorel http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
