Just a small transfer of experience from a different project - if we transition or expand LOCALE functions into C at some point. Be aware that the locale_t series in C is not supported universally, despite being in POSIX going back a few years. We found, at least on the OpenSSL project, that using locale_t caused compile breakages on a variety of platforms, including some older but active Linux variants. Just raising awareness as I'm working this issue there.
Sincerely,
Randall
