Serhiy: "getdefaultlocale() falls back to LANG and LANGUAGE. It allows also to specify a list of looked up environment variables. How could this use case be covered with getlocale()?"

What's your use case to use env vars rather than the current LC_CTYPE locale?

My concern is that when setlocale() is called, the current LC_CTYPE locale is inconsistent and you can get mojibake and others issues.

See for example:

Marc-Andre Lemburg wants to deprecate it:
