* byte-based C locale, phase 1: multibyte character handling functionsRich Felker2015-06-161-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this patch makes the functions which work directly on multibyte characters treat the high bytes as individual abstract code units rather than as multibyte sequences when MB_CUR_MAX is 1. since MB_CUR_MAX is presently defined as a constant 4, all of the new code added is dead code, and optimizing compilers' code generation should not be affected at all. a future commit will activate the new code. as abstract code units, bytes 0x80 to 0xff are represented by wchar_t values 0xdf80 to 0xdfff, at the end of the surrogates range. this ensures that they will never be misinterpreted as Unicode characters, and that all wctype functions return false for these "characters" without needing locale-specific logic. a high range outside of Unicode such as 0x7fffff80 to 0x7fffffff was also considered, but since C11's char16_t also needs to be able to represent conversions of these bytes, the surrogate range was the natural choice.
* add support for LC_TIME and LC_MESSAGES translationsRich Felker2014-07-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for LC_MESSAGES, translation of strerror and similar literal message functions is supported. for messages in other places (particularly the dynamic linker) that use format strings, translation is not yet supported. in order to make it possible and safe, such messages will need to be refactored to separate the textual content from the format. for LC_TIME, the day and month names and strftime-style format strings provided by nl_langinfo are supported for translation. however there may be limitations, as some of the original C-locale nl_langinfo strings are non-unique and thus perhaps non-suitable as keys. overall, the locale support activated by this commit should not be seen as complete and polished but as a basis for beginning to test locale functionality and implement locales.
* add missing yes/no strings to nl_langinfoRich Felker2014-07-261-2/+2
| | | | | these were removed from the standard but still offered as an extension in langinfo.h, so nl_langinfo should support them.
* fix nl_langinfo table for LC_TIME era-related itemsRich Felker2014-07-261-1/+2
| | | | | due to a skipped slot and missing null terminator, the last few strings were off by one or two slots from their item codes.
* properly pass current locale to *_l functions when used internallyRich Felker2014-07-021-1/+2
| | | | | this change is presently non-functional since the callees do not yet use their locale argument for anything.
* fix semantically incorrect use of LC_GLOBAL_LOCALERich Felker2013-07-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE refers to the global locale, controlled by setlocale, not the thread-local locale in effect which these functions should be using. neither LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE nor 0 has an argument to the *_l functions has behavior defined by the standard, but 0 is a more logical choice for requesting the callee to lookup the current locale. in the future I may move the current locale lookup the the caller (the non-_l-suffixed wrapper). at this point, all of the locale logic is dummied out, so no harm was done, but it should at least avoid misleading usage.
* rework langinfo code for ABI compat and for use by time codeRich Felker2013-07-241-2/+8

* fix nl_langinfo to actually use the existing, correct internal versionRich Felker2011-04-031-2/+5

* initial check-in, version 0.5.0 v0.5.0Rich Felker2011-02-121-0/+58
