Not at present, however Garrett D'Amore has expressed interest in adding support: "illumos doesn't have the POSIX 2008 locale APIs. I've considered adding them... it would not be too difficult, although we would need to eliminate some process global state ... are there applications that consume these? If there are, then its worth the time and effort." Do you know if there are many apps using these APIs? If so I'll respond back to him and see if we can get the ball rolling. > If noone else does it I hope to get time to work on fixing the problems in the > current code, but it's not a high priority for me. Would a financial incentive help? My company may be interested in funding this to speed up the work. > I think a better long term plan is to write a new locale model based on the > POSIX 2008 API, as that could be common to more platforms and would provide > thread-safety and the other advantages of the GNU/Linux code. Would this be a significant volume of work? Cheers, Alasdair
