73 This trick arranges for messages to be emitted in the user's
74 requested encoding, but avoids setting LC_CTYPE from the
75 environment for the whole program.
77 This primarily done to avoid a bug in vsnprintf in the GNU C
78 Library [1]. which triggered a "your vsnprintf is broken" error
79 on Git's own repository when inspecting v0.99.6~1 under a UTF-8
80 locale.
82 That commit contains a ISO-8859-1 encoded author name, which
83 the locale aware vsnprintf(3) won't interpolate in the format
84 argument, due to mismatch between the data encoding and the
85 locale.
87 Even if it wasn't for that bug we wouldn't want to use LC_CTYPE at
88 this point, because it'd require auditing all the code that uses C
89 functions whose semantics are modified by LC_CTYPE.
91 But only setting LC_MESSAGES as we do creates a problem, since
92 we declare the encoding of our PO files[2] the gettext
93 implementation will try to recode it to the user's locale, but
94 without LC_CTYPE it'll emit something like this on 'git init'
95 under the Icelandic locale:
97 Bj? til t?ma Git lind ? /hlagh/.git/
99 Gettext knows about the encoding of our PO file, but we haven't
100 told it about the user's encoding, so all the non-US-ASCII
101 characters get encoded to question marks.
103 But we're in luck! We can set LC_CTYPE from the environment
104 only while we call nl_langinfo and
105 bind_textdomain_codeset. That suffices to tell gettext what
106 encoding it should emit in, so it'll now say:
108 Bjó til tóma Git lind í /hlagh/.git/
110 And the equivalent ISO-8859-1 string will be emitted under a
111 ISO-8859-1 locale.
113 With this change way we get the advantages of setting LC_CTYPE
114 (talk to the user in his language/encoding), without the major
115 drawbacks (changed semantics for C functions we rely on).
117 However foreign functions using other message catalogs that
118 aren't using our neat trick will still have a problem, e.g. if
119 we have to call perror(3):
121 #include <stdio.h>
122 #include <locale.h>
123 #include <errno.h>
125 int main(void)
127 setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, "");
128 setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "C");
129 errno = ENODEV;
130 perror("test");
131 return 0;
134 Running that will give you a message with question marks:
136 $ LANGUAGE= LANG=de_DE.utf8 ./test
137 test: Kein passendes Ger?t gefunden
139 The vsnprintf bug has been fixed since glibc 2.17.
141 Then we could simply set LC_CTYPE from the environment, which would
142 make things like the external perror(3) messages work.
144 See t/t0203-gettext-setlocale-sanity.sh's "gettext.c" tests for
145 regression tests.
