Since we use the C run-time libraries for doing conversions, setting
locales would probably screw up our conversion routines. I'll take a look
at the code and see if I can't do a quick fix.

Subject: Xalan-C, Floating Numbers
depends on locale setings

Please
respond to
xalan-dev
I have a problem with floating-point numbers. The representation in XSL
should be always with a dot (".") as the decimal separator. I am using the
"iso-8859-1" locale with a comma (",") as the decimal separator. If I try
to calculate with floating point numbers in Xalan-C (see example below) it
works until I set the current locale with "setlocal(LC_ALL,"")" before
initializing XMLPlatformUtils.
There was another thread in xalan-dev from March, 26 (Subject: Math
Problem?) related to this bug and saying the bug will be committed to the
bug database. But I didn't find a bug report to this problem (Indeed I
found only 23 bugs in the database related to Xalan-C :^| )
So I ask you: Are there fixes for Xalan-C1.1? Or can you show me where
floating-point conversion in Xalan takes place?
TIA

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<root>
<HitList maxscore="4.267560"/>
<Hit score="3.727572"/>
</root>
XSL(T)
======
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";

Test-Program
============
#include <util/PlatformUtils.hpp>
#include <XalanTransformer/XalanTransformer.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <locale.h>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
setlocale(LC_ALL,""); // this line leads to trouble
XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();
XalanTransformer::initialize();
XalanTransformer oTheTransformer;
oTheTransformer.transform("float.xml","float.xsl",cout);
XalanTransformer::terminate();
XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate();
}
Result without Locale (the right way):
======================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<a>
Score: 3.727572
MaxScore: 4.267560
Res: 87
</a>
Result wit Locale (the wrong way):
