Otherwise, setlocale() shall return a null pointer and the locale of the process is not changed. http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/setlocale.html Here we do not expect "successful completion", so it "shall return a null pointer". Can you submit a bug report against NetBSD's C library? > list gdt 8 ~ > cat l.c > #include > #include > #include > > #include > #include > > > int > main (int argc, char *argv[]) > { > char *s; > > s = setlocale (LC_ALL, "C"); > assert (s != NULL); > > printf ("DAY_1: %s\n", nl_langinfo (DAY_1)); > > s = setlocale (LC_ALL, "en_GB"); > assert (s != NULL); > > printf ("DAY_1: %s\n", nl_langinfo (DAY_1)); > > return 0; > } > list gdt 9 ~ > cc -o l l.c > list gdt 10 ~ > ./l > DAY_1: Sun > DAY_1: Sun Both look wrong to me: it returns the abbreviated name of the day instead of the full name of the day (http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/langinfo.h.html). Can you report a bug for this one, too? Thanks, Ludo'.
