I think Dinkumware has an implementation, but I'm not aware of an open implementation. Actually should be pretty trivial as dispatches to the low level C routines. Again as I understand that's the intent.

I didn't consider this case for several reasons: 1. to avoid mixing of C and C++ locales 2. itoa is non-standard 3. sprintf is not fast enough ;-) Performance of sprintf is not a big issue especially if std::string ctor allocates a memory from the heap. Actually, instead of having a set of functions that returns std::string, I'd prefer std::tr1::array<char,N>. It's faster and you always know max. length of output. -- Alexander Nasonov Project Manager http://www.akmosoft.com
