           Summary: Support for Locales and Facets Appears to be Missing or
                    Unsupported
           Product: gcc
           Version: 2.96 (redhat)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org

I running Linux v2.4.18 and gcc v 2.96 20000731. I am trying to make use of C++
locale and facet support, which should not be global, as is the case in C.
However, I am not able to find any of the classes I would expect in locale.h and
see no other c++ header which it would appear to be in. Is locales and facets
supported in this version of g++/gcc? In searching the web site, the only
reference to internationalization I could find was experimental support of it in
version 2.95. Is it present in this version or any future version of gcc/g++?
This is absolutely critical for my project.
