Was it recently updated ? (now 8.3)

I see boost.format is not the only lib for which the codewarrior
regression status changed.

At least in my case, codewarrior is to blame for the new failure :

# 'getloc' is not a member of class 'std::basic_stringbuf<char,
std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>'

while a basic_stringbuf should inherit getloc from its basic_streambuf
base.

Is this a temporary problem ? (on the codewarrior setup, or the
compiler itself)
Or should workaround code be written ?
If the CodeWarrior C++ lib is linked to as a shared library, locale support is turned off. If the C++ lib is statically linked to, there is 100% standard locale support. This is not new behavior. You can detect this situation with:

#ifdef _MSL_NO_LOCALE

With this defined, there is no such thing as locale, nor any of the functions related to locale (such as getloc). The streams will implicitly use the "C" locale even though you can no longer refer to the "C" locale.
