---------------------------------------------------------------
Konrad - I've finally had some more time to play around with this, based on the
tests in lib/cpp/test (by running {{make check-TESTS}}):
All tests are on my own KUbuntu 12.04 with Thrift 0.9.2 and boost 1.57.
Initial (no changes to the code): All 15 tests passed
Failing (I added a {{setlocale(LC_ALL, "da_DK"));}} to the beginning of the
JSONProtoTest.cpp): JSONProtoTest fails (doubles now use ',' for decimal
separators)
Fixed (keeping the new locale, adding my previously posted patch): All 15 tests
passed. Doing a diff on the JSON output from JSONProtoTest, it matches the
output from the initial test exactly.
You were mentioning that it failed testing on your machine - what tests are you
using?

> C++ TJSONProtocol using locale dependent formatting
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-2870
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2870
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++ - Library
> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Environment: Linux, Boost 1.51
> Reporter: Simon Falsig
> Attachments: use-classic-locale-for-cpp-json_4.patch

> I'm using Thrift for serializing objects (in C++) into JSON strings, which I
> then store as files. This usually works fine, but if the locale of my system
> is set to a locale where the decimal separator is ',' instead of '.' (for
> instance in Denmark), then the TJSONProtocol (specifically the
> writeJSONDouble function that does the double to string conversion through a
> boost::lexical_cast) will also use this separator when serializing doubles.
> This kinda plays havoc with the JSON specification, which does not allow for
> localized formatting, and depends on always using '.' as a decimal separator.
> I could imagine that there may be other more subtle places where the local
> can have an effect, but this is currently the only place I've been having
> trouble with.
> I can see that the same problem has been fixed for C# (commit
> 3da317bda100130b2f615034c46b0944888f0f14 / THRIFT-1245 C# JSON Protocol uses
> culture-dependant decimal separator for double) but it doesn't seem as if
> there's a similarly easy way to fix boost::lexical_cast...
> Note that I'm using Thrift 0.9.0, but as far as I can see there hasn't been
> any relevant changes to TJSONProtocol.cpp since.
> Relevant thread on thrift-user mailing list can be found here:

> I've also attached a quick patch that works on my setup (see the patch file
> comments for more information).
