Interesting, in particular the followint note. > So if my understanding is correct, this facility is already in TR1. Well, not really. The text in TR1 is about the facilities provided in <cstdio> and <stdio.h>. The text in 22_locale should then be consistently updated, at minimum the specifications for Stage2 and the grammar made consistent. But probably the entire parsing must be heavily reworked, there are long standing and nasty defects proper. More generally, the entire C++0x standard will be more careful with NaNs, infinities and such, not mentioned at all in C++03 (similarly to C90). That is causing problems in other unrelated areas (while we are writing people are discussing on the reflector containers vs NaNs...) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27904
