POSIX 2008 locale support integrated (illumos)
A year in the making... and finally the code is pushed. Hooray! I've just pushed 2964 into illumos , which adds support for a bunch of new libc calls for thread safe and thread-specific locales, as well as explicit locale_t objects. Some of the interfaces added fall under the BSD/MacOS X " xlocale " class of functions. Note that not all of the xlocale functions supplied by BSD/MacOS are present.
