8860	Logically dead code in default_locale.cpp	Gaurav Gupta <g.gupta@…>	Artyom Beilis	"In file : http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/locale/src/util/default_locale.cpp


{{{
std::string get_system_locale(bool use_utf8)
            {
                char const *lang = 0;
                if(!lang || !*lang)
                  lang = getenv(""LC_CTYPE"");    
        -----------Some Code ------------------
}}}

Here lang is initialized to 0.So, In condition (!lang || !*lang)   (!lang) is always true, the condition (!*lang) will never be reached and hence dead-code.

Modify the condition as below :

{{{
      if(!lang)
         lang = getenv(""LC_CTYPE"");
}}}
