I've found the following bug/feature with guile-1.8.7 and would like to
solicit for comments.
Is this a guile bug? What's the proper work-around?
I've got a C program that does a setlocale (LC_ALL, ""); printf ("%f",
0.2000);
In the de_DE.utf8 locale, the result of the print is 0,2000 using a comma,
since
the comma is the "decimal separator" in most European locales. This numeric
string is then passed to scm_eval_string() which pukes on it, because it
does not
recognize 0,2 as a valid number. This can be confirmed at the guile
command
line interpreter, which pukes on guile> (+ 0,2 0,2) but works fine on (+
0.2 0.2)
even in the de_DE locale.
Is this really the expected behaviour? Is there a suggested work-around?
