Fred, Stefan,
Indeed, the instruction [format lenient] returns 1, independant of setting
the value with
[format setLenient: NO] and [format setLenient: YES].
I'm sure I saw libicu mentioned in the dependencies for gnustep, and given
the definition of isLenient in NSDatformatter.m and the fact that I got 1
from isLenient, I supposed that GS_USE_ICU was 1: return NO resulting in
the value 1 seems illogical.
- (BOOL) isLenient
{
#if GS_USE_ICU == 1
return (BOOL)udat_isLenient (internal->_formatter);
#else
return NO;
#endif
}
But thinking of it, this is the source from
https://github.com/gnustep/libs-base/blob/master/Source/NSDateFormatter.m.,
I've
got no idea were FreeBSD is getting its sources. I will have to look into
the freebsd ports mechanism to find out, just to be sure. Or try the
debugger, to see what is really going on.
Concerning the locale, the value for systemlocale is "en_US_posix", the
default locale is "nl_BE",and the locale returned from the NSDateFormatter
is also "nl_BE". But I admit, the returned values do not look correctly
formatted either.
Again, maybe the debugger is the best way to find out what is going wrong.
Thanks for your anwers already, I'll see if I can find out more about this.
Or give up, and just use format strings....
Kind regards,
Edwin
