localedef: missing characters for an ellipsis in LC_CTYPE
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: STDCXX-860
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-860
Project: C++ Standard Library
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Utilities
Affects Versions: 4.2.0
Reporter: Martin Sebor
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 4.2.2
The {{localedef}} utility appears to skip characters specified using the
ellipsis in the {{LC_CTYPE}} section. The output below was obtained on Solaris
10 (the "couldn't set locale correctly" messages are written out by libc). The
number of characters specified in the {{ctype.src}} source file is 6 ('a', 'b',
'c', 'd', 'e', and 'f'). The output of the {{locale}} utility shows that the
generated locale contains only the last three characters ('d', 'e', and 'f').
