Constructors

Constructs an object of locale.

  locale() throw();

  locale(const locale& other) throw();

  explicit locale(const char* std_name);

  locale(const locale& other, const char* std_name, category);

  template <class Facet> locale(const locale& other, Facet* f);

  locale(const locale& other, const locale& one, category  cats);  

std::locale a_locale(""); is an example use of the constructor: explicit locale(const char* std_name);. The "" locale will attempt to read the environment variable EWL_DEFAULT_LOCALE and create a locale with the associated string. If getenv("EWL_DEFAULT_LOCALE") returns null, then "C" is used. There is no data file associated with the "C" locale. The "C" locale is coded directly into EWL C++.
