They're not "identical". A better approximation is
~~~~~~~~~~
#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>
int main()
{
_locale_t locale = _create_locale(LC_ALL, "");
strange_undocumented_set_global_locale(locale);
_locale_t current_locale = _get_current_locale();
printf("Locale is now: %s\n",
strange_undocumented_get_locale_string(current_locale));
_free_locale(locale);
_free_locale(current_locale);
return 0;
}
~~~~~~~~~~
These strange undocumented APIs make it difficult to implement
C++ Standard <locale> in Windows.
