C/C++ Catastrophic error: could not set locale "" to allow processing of multibyte characters

While compiling and linking your C/C++ code against the ParaMonte libraries via the Intel C/C++ compilers, in particular, on macOS, you may receive a compiler error message similar to the following,

Catastrophic error: could not set locale "" to allow processing of multibyte characters

This is apparently a bug in Intel C/C++ compiler on macOS, as of 2020. Such compile/link time errors can be resolved by passing the following compiler flag to the Intel compilers,

-no-multibyte-chars

By default, this compiler flag is added to the example-build-scripts of the prebuilt ParaMonte libraries on macOS. Therefore, this problem will only arise if you are manually compiling and linking your example C/C++ codes against the ParaMonte library routines.
