Run this code
#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::locale loc(std::locale(), new std::ctype<char>);
std::cout << "The default locale is " << std::locale().name() << '\n'
<< "The user's locale is " << std::locale("").name() << '\n'
<< "A nameless locale is " << loc.name() << '\n';
}
Possible output:
