Bug 1078: isdigit, isxdigit locale dependance  Accepted as Marked
http://austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1078

This item is tagged for TC3-2008
An interpretation is required.

Interpretation response:
The standard states the requirements for isdigit() and isxdigit(),
and conforming implementations must conform to this. However,
concerns have been raised about this which are being referred to
the sponsor.

Rationale:
Allowing additional characters in the digit and xdigit classes is
a conflict with the requirements of ISO C for isdigit() and isxdigit().

Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation):

(Page and line numbers are for the 2016 edition)
    
On page 139 line 4123 delete:

    These only need to be specified if the character values (that
    is, encoding) differ from the implementation default values.

On page 141 at Line 4198, change:
    In a locale definition file, only the characters defined for
    the class digit shall be specified, in contiguous ascending
    sequence by numerical value, followed by one or more sets of
    six characters representing the hexadecimal digits 10 to 15
    inclusive, with each set in ascending order (for example, <A>,
    < B>, <C>, <D>, <E>, <F>, <a>, < b>, <c>, <d>, <e>, <f>). The
    digits <zero> to <nine>, the uppercase letters <A> to <F>, and
    the lowercase letters <a> to <f> of the portable character set
    are automatically included in this class.
to:
    In a locale definition file, only the characters defined for
    the class digit shall be specified, in contiguous ascending
    sequence by numerical value, followed by two sets, in either
    order, of six characters representing the hexadecimal digits
    corresponding to the decimal numbers 10 to 15 inclusive, with
    each set in ascending order: <A>, < B>, <C>, <D>, <E>, <F> and
    <a>, < b>, <c>, <d>, <e>, <f>. The digits <zero> to <nine>, the
    uppercase letters <A> to <F>, and the lowercase letters <a> to
    <f> of the portable character set are automatically included
    in this class.

(Note that the space in < b> and < B> should be omitted; it is there to prevent Mantis from interpreting it as a bold specifier.)
