[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44029] Decimal number input parsing depends on locale

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #44029 (project octave):

This is an erratic bug, it comes and go for the *same build*. The attached
test function retrieves the locale. When the bug doesn't appear or in cli mode
the output is:


ans =
LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=C;LC_COLLATE=C;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_MESSAGES=C;LC_PAPER=C;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=C;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C


which shows that LC_NUMERIC has the expected value. When the bug appears
(sometimes, in the GUI only), the output is simply


ans =fr_FR.UTF-8;


No variable name, simply the main locale.
To build the function and reproduce:


mkoctfile get_locale.cc
get_locale ()


(file #32974)
