Question
Item 3 - locales
In a conforming implementation, can the value of any of the following
expressions (subclause 7.4.2.1) be a value other than 0 or 1? Can
the value of the first expression be 0?
strlen(localeconv()->decimal_point)
strlen(localeconv()->thousands_sep)
strlen(localeconv()->mon_decimal_point)
strlen(localeconv()->mon_thousands_sep)
If the value can be greater than 1, can the string contain more than
one multibyte character? If so, can the string contain shift sequences?
If so, can the string end other than in the initial shift state?
Response
Of the four strlen calls, the first must return 1, the second
must return 0 or 1, and the other two must return 0 or more, in a
conforming implementation. There is a specific requirement for decimal_point
in the second paragraph of subclause 7.4.2.1 Description, and
in the individual descriptions ``character'' is intended to
imply 0 or 1 while ``string'' is meant to imply 0 or more.
