### 20. Thousands_sep returns wrong type

Section: 28.4.4.1.3 [facet.numpunct.virtuals] Status: TC1 Submitter: Nathan Myers Opened: 1998-08-06 Last modified: 2016-08-09

Discussion:

The synopsis for numpunct<>::do_thousands_sep, and the definition of numpunct<>::thousands_sep which calls it, specify that it returns a value of type char_type. Here it is erroneously described as returning a "string_type".

Proposed resolution:

In 28.4.4.1.3 [facet.numpunct.virtuals], above paragraph 2, change "string_type" to "char_type".
