So, rather than just providing a single, per-process locale, you can now create new locales ("newlocale") and set it as locale for the current thread ("uselocale") or use it directly with one of the new functions taking a locale_t as parameter (i.e. isalpha_l). The full list of new interfaces is: newlocale, freelocale, duplocale, uselocale isalnum_l, isalpha_l, isascii_l, isblank_l, iscntrl_l, isdigit_l, isgraph_l, islower_l, isprint_l, ispunct_l, isspace_l, isupper_l, iswalnum_l, iswalpha_l, iswblank_l, iswcntrl_l, iswctype_l, iswdigit_l, iswgraph_l, iswlower_l, iswprint_l, iswpunct_l, iswspace_l, iswupper_l, iswxdigit_l, isxdigit_l toascii_l, tolower_l, toupper_l, towctrans_l, towlower_l, towupper_l, wctrans_l, wctype_l strcasecmp_l, strcoll_l, strncasecmp_l, strxfrm_l wcscasecmp_l, wcscoll_l, wcstrncasecmp_l, wcstrxfrm_l strfmon_l, strftime_l ======================================================================= Since this is brand-new code, this code *will* have bugs. It would be very helpful if interested developers and Cygwin package maintainers could give this new stuff some good testing.
