No, it shouldn't. We are providing C semantics here, which is that no locale functionality is activated unless the application explicitly asks for it. > Is the first call to > setlocale() supposed to return C? If so, always? The return value is implementation-defined, but yes, it is supposed to return the "C" locale (which is synonymous to the "POSIX" locale on a POSIX system). > I was looking for > some way for the initial call to setlocale() to return de_DE or > whatever other locale I set. That shouldn't happen.
