Re: Re: [RFC] [DISCUSSION] Locale-independent float to string cast

Hi Guilliam, Thank you for the reminder, we certainly forgot to resolve that issue. After a quick investigation, it turned out that the %e and %E specifiers are already locale-insensitive, so we can leave them as-is. Furthermore, the definition of the %G specifier according to the documentation is "Like the g specifier but uses E and F", which is not true, since %G is always a locale-dependent format, while %F is not. That's why we think the way forward is to: - fix the documentation independently of this RFC - expose the %h and %H format specifiers which are "like the %g and %G specifiers, but really use %e/%E and %f/%F respectively". Nikita is currently working on adding support for these, so it's also not a dependency of the RFC. That's why the vote is still scheduled for tomorrow. Thanks, Máté (P.S: I've just seen that Nikita already wrote a similar answer)
