[DTrace-devel] [PATCH] Fix printf formatting with non-monetary grouping chars

From: Eugene Loh <eugene.loh at oracle.com>

Non-monetary grouping characters are used to separate groups of digits
in numbers that are not monetary values.  DTrace used to document
support for printf formatting, using a single quote, for such grouping.
Currently, support is largely implemented, but simply not working.

Add a setlocale() call to pick LC_NUMERIC up from environment variables.
