[R-pkg-devel] Check Flavor r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian-clang charset

[David Gohel]

Yes, it seems so. 

Thanks Gabor, if possible, a docker for that case would be welcome.

I think I solved my issues. I set the locale in my cpp code:

    setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "C");

In the R code, I am testing if the locale is set to UTF-8 with the following code but I am not sure this is the best solution: 

    # Only when not windows
    has_locale <- Sys.which("locale") != ""
    is_utf_8 <- has_locale && (system(command = "locale charmap", intern = TRUE) == "UTF-8")

If someone has an advice, it will be welcomed :)
