            Bug ID: 115524
           Summary: Cygwin: Space character categorized as non-printable
                    by std::ctype<wchar_t>
           Product: gcc
           Version: 13.2.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++

test.cpp Demonstrate the bug

On Cygwin, a space character is reported as non-printable by
`std::ctype<wchar_t>` in the "C" locale (the only locale supported by
libstdc+++ on Cygwin). In other words, the following expression evaluates to
`false`:

    ctype.is(std::ctype_base::print, ctype.widen(' '))

where `ctype` is obtained by `std::use_facet<std::ctype<wchar_t>>(loc)` and
`loc` is the "C" locale.

It should have been evaluated to `true` because a space character is required
by the C++ standard to be categorized as printable (the defining distinction
between a printable and a graphical character is that space is printable but
not graphical).

Also, the space character is reported as printable by `std::iswprint(int ch)`.
So it seems like the problem is specific to `libstdc++`.

Also, the non-wide space character is reported as printable, i.e,
`std::use_facet<std::ctype<char>>(loc)::is(std::ctype_base::print, ' ')` is
`true`.

Also, `ctype.is(std::ctype_base::print, ctype.widen(' '))` is `true` with
MinGW, with GCC on Linux, and with Visual Studio.

The problem can be demonstrated with the code below (attached as `test.cpp`) in
regular Cygwin (https://cygwin.com/install.html) using GCC 12.3.1 and in the
Cygwin environment of MSYS2 (https://www.msys2.org/) using GCC 13.2.0:

#include <cwctype>
#include <string>
#include <locale>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    using facet_type = std::ctype<wchar_t>;
    std::locale loc;
    const auto& ctype = std::use_facet<facet_type>(loc);
    wchar_t ch = ctype.widen(' ');
    std::cout << ctype.is(ctype.print, ch) << "\n";
    std::cout << (std::iswprint(std::char_traits<wchar_t>::to_int_type(ch)) !=
0) << "\n";
}
