Is the same "C" locale has. We only want consistency, see 38368. Does > C++ standard mandate that behavior? "" means thousands shouldn't be separated > by any separator.

I suppose so, because we have a comment in the code (resulting from feedback me and / or Benjamin got from glibc people clearly saying that '\0' implies no grouping. We always worked under this hypothesis. locales, e.g. bg_BG, that specify empty thousands_sep, yet have > grouping 3;3. For empty thousands_sep glibc just forces no grouping: > if ((wide && thousands_sepwc == L'\0') > || (! wide && *thousands_sep == '\0')) > grouping = NULL; Ok... > > BTW, thousands_sep is a multibyte string, it can be multiple bytes This is just a C++ standard issue, unfortunately...
