| LC_MESSAGES is apparently an extension; it's not in the POSIX spec, and it's
| not in the C spec I have handy. (Admittedly, that's C99, but I don't think
| anything like this was removed since C89.) So, recommend you #ifdef that;
|
| #ifdef LC_MESSAGES
| ...[interact with LC_MESSAGES]
| #endif
POSIX and ANSI C have the following categories:
LC_ALL
LC_COLLATE
LC_CTYPE
LC_MONETARY
LC_NUMERIC
LC_TIME
"Implementation defined additional categories" are allowed, and it
looks like many (most?) implementations use LC_MESSAGES, but they
don't have to, I guess.
