Subject: C locale conflict with ISO/IEC 9945-2
Summary
In subclause 7.23.3.5p7, the specifications for the strftime
%c,
%p, and%x conversion specifiers in the
C locale conflict with the specifications in ISO/IEC 9945-2 for the POSIX
locale. As the POSIX and C locales have always been intended to be
compatible, we strongly suggest changing these specifications to match
the pre-existing POSIX specifications.
Suggested Correction
In subclause 7.23.3.5, paragraph 7, page 345, change the definitions
of %c, %p, and %x to:
- %c
- equivalent to "%a %b %e %T %Y".
- %p
- one of "AM" or "PM".
- %x
- equivalent to "%m/%d/%y".
Committee Response
Changes were incorporated into the Standard just before printing. This was considered an editorial change by the Committee.
