A patch to set LC_NUMERIC to C to prevent number parsers expecting a comma

I'm submitting a patch written by Jérôme Suhard (I only fixed the URL and uploaded the patch), see http://suhard.fr/gate/ & http://suhard.fr/gate/patches/geant4-string-to-double.patch.

Comment 1 Mojca Miklavec 2013-07-09 13:44:51 CEST

And while at it: maybe one could also translate or remove the comment "Si j'ai bien compris, cette fonction ne sert à rien" from the same file (source/interfaces/common/src/G4Qt.cc), or at least convert it to UTF-8. My editor keeps complaining about the encoding which is pretty annoying.

Also, please change this in all of the supported Geant4 versions - at least in 9.6 and 10.0 if possible. (I'm not sure if Geant4 9.5 is still supported - that one requires an offset of one.)

Thank you Mojca.
The issue will need to be looked at by our Qt expert, Laurent Garnier.
FYI, he is currently on holiday, so I would not expect a response for a few weeks.
