* Fixed two long-standing locale bugs.Jarkko Hietaniemi1999-06-171-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both problems were related to numeric locale which controls the radix character aka the decimal separator. (1) printf (and sprintf) were resetting the numeric locale to C. (2) Using locale-numerically formatted floating point numbers (e.g. "1,23") together with -w caused warnings about "isn't numeric". The operations were working fine, though, because atof() was using the local locale. Both problems reported by Stefan Vogtner. Introduced a wrapper for atof() that attempts to convert the string both ways. This helps Perl to understand numbers like this "4.56" even when using a local locale makes atof() understand only numbers like this "7,89". Remaining related problems, both of which existed before this patch and continue to exist after this patch: (a) The behaviour of print() is _not_ as documented by perllocale. Instead of always using the C locale, print() does use the local locale, just like the *printf() do. This may be fixable now that switching to-and-fro between locales has been made more consistent, but fixing print() would change existing behaviour. perllocale is not changed by this patch. (b) If a number has been stringified (say, via "$number") under a local locale, the cached string value persists even under "no locale". This may or may not be a problem: operations work fine because the original number is still there, but that the string form keeps its locale-ish outlook may be somewhat confusing. p4raw-id: //depot/cfgperl@3542
