             Bug #: 13140
           Summary: no-break space as thousands_sep causes inconsistent
                    output
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.14
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
        ReportedBy: myllynen@redhat.com
    Classification: Unclassified


localhost:~> cat test-grouping.c 
#include <locale.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  if (setlocale(LC_ALL, argv[1]) == NULL)
    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
  printf("%s:%'9d\n", argv[1], 123456);
  exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
localhost:~> gcc test-grouping.c 
localhost:~> for l in en_US de_DE fi_FI ; do ./a.out $l.UTF-8 ; done
en_US.UTF-8:  123,456
de_DE.UTF-8:  123.456
fi_FI.UTF-8: 123 456

I think the expected output would be:

en_US.UTF-8:  123,456
de_DE.UTF-8:  123.456
fi_FI.UTF-8:  123 456

The width specification specifies the number of bytes, not screen columns.

Aside, the narrow stream functions have no idea what the encoding is.  It's a
sequence of bytes and if two bytes take only one column that's simply not
known.  There is nothing which can be done at this level.

If you want aligned output in all cases you have to do the legwork yourself.

Reopening in case the needed legwork could be considered as a task for upcoming
releases.

Hi Rich,

thanks for the clarification, much appreciated, seems that indeed the right
thing to do here is just to close this one.

Thanks.
