I am hunting a strange problem….
When I output a number value, e.g. 42.0, it is normally output with a decimal point.
On one particular platform, however, it is output with a comma, i.e. „42,0“.
What controls that? It happens during the conversion of a number to a a string, apparently.
Setting LC_NUMERIC on the command line, e.g. like this, changes nothing:
$ LC_NUMERIC=de lua -e ‘print(42.0)’
(Neither does setting LANG, LC_ALL, LANGUAGE)
