[Mono-devel-list] patch: System.Decimal ctor should be locale-independent

[Rodolfo Campero]

Hello everybody,

Here goes a small patch to System.Decimal. The patch fixes a dependency
on the local culture when creating a Decimal from either a Double or a
Float.

You can expose the bug by trying to compile the following program:

public class TestDecimalCulture {
  public static void Main (string[] args) {
    System.Decimal d = (decimal)1.1;
  }
}

with:
  LANG=es mcs TestDecimalCulture.cs

(if you change the language to 'en' it works)

I'm not subscribed to mono-devel-list, so if there's something wrong
with this patch please CC my email address.

With kind regards,

Rodolfo
