One thing that has bugged me with std::locale is the mandatory locking incurred for trivial things like creating an output stream. How does this library behave with locking and the like? (I guess performance is not a prime consideration though.)
I use std::locale goodies as is, so if compiler uses locking then it would happen. However, std::locale implementation is very efficient and uses reference counting and global functions like std::locale::global in any case should not be used. I assume that ICU would do much more locking on its own then standard C++ library.
I guess performance is not a prime consideration though.
Yes, it is not my primary consideration.
Good luck with your library,
Thanks and Best Regards, Matthew
