locale -a displays the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/download/extract$ locale -a C el_CY.utf8 el_GR.utf8 en_AU.utf8 en_BW.utf8 en_CA.utf8 en_DK.utf8 en_GB.utf8 en_HK.utf8 en_IE.utf8 en_IN en_NZ.utf8 en_PH.utf8 en_SG.utf8 en_US.utf8 en_ZA.utf8 en_ZW.utf8 POSIX [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/download/extract$ ==> Using these locales in the 3 of the 4 codes supplied, they work OK. However the code number (3.) works only for "en_US.utf8", and it doesn't work for "el_GR.utf8". For "en_US.utf8": #include <iostream> #include <locale> #include <string> int main() { using namespace std; wcin.imbue(locale("en_US.utf8")); wcout.imbue(locale("en_US.utf8")); wstring ws; wcin>> ws; wcout<< ws<< endl; } [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/download/extract$ ./main Test Test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/download/extract$ For: "el_GR.utf8" #include <iostream> #include <locale> #include <string> int main() { using namespace std; wcin.imbue(locale("el_GR.utf8")); wcout.imbue(locale("el_GR.utf8")); wstring ws; wcin>> ws; wcout<< ws<< endl; } [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/download/extract$ ./main Δοκιμαστικό [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/download/extract$ As I said, the locales work in the 3 of the 4 codes supplied, but code number (3.) doesn't. So this isn't a "blocker" bug, but there is still a bug with wcin.imbue() and wcout.imbue() when they are used alone without a "locale::global(locale("en_US"));" or "ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);" statement. wofstream works OK without any of the above statements. For example the code: #include <locale> #include <string> #include <fstream> int main() { using namespace std; wstring ws= L"Δοκιμαστικό\n"; wofstream file("filename.txt"); file.imbue(locale("el_GR.utf8")); if(file.is_open()) file<< ws; } works OK: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/download/extract$ g++ -ansi -pedantic-errors -Wall main.cpp -o main [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/download/extract$ cat filename.txt Δοκιμαστικό [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/download/extract$ -- ivranos at freemail dot gr changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity|blocker |normal Status|RESOLVED |UNCONFIRMED GCC host triplet| |Ubuntu 8.04 x86 Resolution|DUPLICATE | http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37673
