>Description:
There was a commit in the main trunk:
----
date: 2003/06/13 00:14:07; author: jkh; state: Exp; lines: +6 -6
Fixes to locale code to properly use indirect pointers in order to prevent
memory leaks (fixes bugs earlier purported to be fixed).
Submitted by: Ed Moy <emoy@apple.com>
Obtained from: Apple Computer, Inc.
MFC after: 2 weeks
----
RELENG_4 is still waiting for MFC.
This is important, since STL depends on correct locale switching.
Each int-to-string STL conversion issues two setlocale calls.
>How-To-Repeat:
#include <locale.h>
int
main()
{
for(;;) {
setlocale(LC_ALL, "ru_RU.KOI8-R");
setlocale(LC_ALL, "C");
}
}
>Fix:
upgrade to current?
