>Description:

The following locales have a two-byte ascii thousands separator. In all cases,
the real separator is followed by an ascii whitespace character. In the attached
test program, the separator is enclosed in XXX:


it_CH.ISO8859-1: XXX. XXX
it_CH.ISO8859-15: XXX. XXX
it_CH.UTF-8: XXX. XXX
it_IT.ISO8859-1: XXX. XXX
it_IT.ISO8859-15: XXX. XXX
it_IT.UTF-8: XXX. XXX
sl_SI.ISO8859-2: XXX  XXX
sl_SI.UTF-8: XXX  XXX



>How-To-Repeat:

Compile the test program. Run:

locale -a | ./printsep
>Fix:


Patch attached with submission follows:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <locale.h>


int
main(void)
{
	char loc[100];
	size_t n;

	while (fgets(loc, 100, stdin) != NULL) {
		n = strlen(loc);
		if (n > 1) {
			loc[n-1] = '\0';
			setlocale(LC_ALL, loc);
			n = mbstowcs(NULL, localeconv()->thousands_sep, 0);
			if (n > 1) {
				printf("%s: XXX%sXXX\n", loc, localeconv()->thousands_sep);
			}
		}
	}

	return 0;
}
