    codecvt_byname not working on Linux gcc

    gcc 7.1 with C11 linux

    Code:
    fin.imbue(std::locale(fin.getloc(),
                  new std::codecvt_byname<wchar_t, char, std::mbstate_t>("zh_CN.gb18030")));
    produces:
    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
    what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
    Aborted (core dumped)

    The code has been taken from:
    http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/locale/codecvt_byname

    I have tried as well with with en_US.UTF-8, but the result is the same.
    What is the problem? gcc dies not support localization library?

    Where to find valid list of locale names?

    See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...-names-windows for code that displays all the valid available locale names.

    Also, from a console
    locale -a

    should also display the available names.
    All advice is offered in good faith only. All my code is tested (unless stated explicitly otherwise) with the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio (using the supported features of the latest standard) and is offered as examples only - not as production quality. I cannot offer advice regarding any other c/c++ compiler/IDE or incompatibilities with VS.
