Ensuring same locale for reading/writing
Hi, My original question comes from Random library but I guess it is not strictly Random-related. I would like to save a state of pseudo-random number generator and then restore it on different machine with potentially different locale. Random docs say tho: "The state shall be written in a platform-independent manner, but it is assumed that the locales used for writing and reading be the same." How do I assure same locale on all machines / platforms? Or more directly: how do I assure portable save/restore. -- Szymon Gatner The Lordz Games Studio www.thelordzgamesstudio.com

I would probably imbue the stream with std::locale::classic(). In Christ, Steven Watanabe
