RWLocaleSnapshot ourLocale(""); // encapsulate user's formats
Description
The class RWLocaleSnapshot implements the RWLocale interface using Standard C library
facilities. To use it, the program creates an RWLocaleSnapshot instance. The constructor of the
instance queries the program's environment (using standard C library functions such as
localeconv(), strftime(), and, if available , vendor specific library functions) to learn everything
it can about formatting conventions in effect at the moment of instantiation. When done, the
locale can then be switched and another instance of RWLocaleSnapshot created. By creating
multiple instances of RWLocaleSnapshot, your program can have more than one locale active
at the same time, something that is difficult to do with the Standard C library facilities.
Note: RWLocaleSnapshot does not encapsulate character set, collation, or message
