91 This trick arranges for messages to be emitted in the user's
92 requested encoding, but avoids setting LC_CTYPE from the
93 environment for the whole program.
95 This primarily done to avoid a bug in vsnprintf in the GNU C
96 Library [1]. which triggered a "your vsnprintf is broken" error
97 on Git's own repository when inspecting v0.99.6~1 under a UTF-8
98 locale.
100 That commit contains a ISO-8859-1 encoded author name, which
101 the locale aware vsnprintf(3) won't interpolate in the format
102 argument, due to mismatch between the data encoding and the
103 locale.
105 Even if it wasn't for that bug we wouldn't want to use LC_CTYPE at
106 this point, because it'd require auditing all the code that uses C
107 functions whose semantics are modified by LC_CTYPE.
109 But only setting LC_MESSAGES as we do creates a problem, since
110 we declare the encoding of our PO files[2] the gettext
111 implementation will try to recode it to the user's locale, but
112 without LC_CTYPE it'll emit something like this on 'git init'
113 under the Icelandic locale:
115 Bj? til t?ma Git lind ? /hlagh/.git/
117 Gettext knows about the encoding of our PO file, but we haven't
118 told it about the user's encoding, so all the non-US-ASCII
119 characters get encoded to question marks.
121 But we're in luck! We can set LC_CTYPE from the environment
122 only while we call nl_langinfo and
123 bind_textdomain_codeset. That suffices to tell gettext what
124 encoding it should emit in, so it'll now say:
126 Bjó til tóma Git lind í /hlagh/.git/
128 And the equivalent ISO-8859-1 string will be emitted under a
129 ISO-8859-1 locale.
131 With this change way we get the advantages of setting LC_CTYPE
132 (talk to the user in his language/encoding), without the major
133 drawbacks (changed semantics for C functions we rely on).
135 However foreign functions using other message catalogs that
136 aren't using our neat trick will still have a problem, e.g. if
137 we have to call perror(3):
139 #include <stdio.h>
140 #include <locale.h>
141 #include <errno.h>
143 int main(void)
145 setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, "");
146 setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "C");
147 errno = ENODEV;
148 perror("test");
149 return 0;
152 Running that will give you a message with question marks:
154 $ LANGUAGE= LANG=de_DE.utf8 ./test
155 test: Kein passendes Ger?t gefunden
157 The vsnprintf bug has been fixed since glibc 2.17.
159 Then we could simply set LC_CTYPE from the environment, which would
160 make things like the external perror(3) messages work.
162 See t/t0203-gettext-setlocale-sanity.sh's "gettext.c" tests for
163 regression tests.
