Hi folks! I encountered a bug in my project for these days. Finally I realized it's because of my locale is zh_CN.UTF-8 in default. But in many protocols, it needs the result of strftime be in English. Anyway, I think there should be an elegant way to change locale temperately. So I think maybe with-locale would be useful. --------------------------------------------------------------------- (define-syntax-rule (with-locale i c e0 e1 ...) (let ([old (setlocale i)]) (dynamic-wind (lambda () (setlocale i c)) (lambda () (begin e0 e1 ...)) (lambda () (setlocale i old))))) --------------------------------------------------------------------- What you guys think? Regards.
