solaris appl migration: sprintf decimal separator

coldas57 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-04-2009

Hi,

I am trying to migrate an application from Solaris to AIX 5.3.1. In both platforms the locale settings are as follows:

Result of executing "locale"
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"

In solaris when you execute this program (this is a sample, in the original code there are lots of classes but at the end they call sprintf function to fill a char[] variable):

Code:

#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
    char cadena[25];
    double a = 0;

    memset(cadena,0,sizeof(cadena));

    sprintf(cadena, "%-f", a);
    printf("The content is : %s\n", cadena);
}

In AIX I am compiling this code (main.cpp) with:

IBM XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition for AIX, V9.0
Version: 09.00.0000.0007

In solaris the output is :

0,000000 -> with a comma separator

But in AIX when I try to execute this, the result is:

0.000000 -> with a point separator

I am trying to migrate the code having in mind the idea of not touching the original code. Any idea?,

Thank you in advance for your attention and time.
David
