93 This trick arranges for messages to be emitted in the user's
94 requested encoding, but avoids setting LC_CTYPE from the
95 environment for the whole program.
97 This primarily done to avoid a bug in vsnprintf in the GNU C
98 Library [1]. which triggered a "your vsnprintf is broken" error
99 on Git's own repository when inspecting v0.99.6~1 under a UTF-8
102 That commit contains a ISO-8859-1 encoded author name, which
103 the locale aware vsnprintf(3) won't interpolate in the format
104 argument, due to mismatch between the data encoding and the
107 Even if it wasn't for that bug we wouldn't want to use LC_CTYPE at
108 this point, because it'd require auditing all the code that uses C
109 functions whose semantics are modified by LC_CTYPE.
111 But only setting LC_MESSAGES as we do creates a problem, since
112 we declare the encoding of our PO files[2] the gettext
113 implementation will try to recode it to the user's locale, but
114 without LC_CTYPE it'll emit something like this on 'git init'
115 under the Icelandic locale:
117 Bj? til t?ma Git lind ? /hlagh/.git/
119 Gettext knows about the encoding of our PO file, but we haven't
120 told it about the user's encoding, so all the non-US-ASCII
121 characters get encoded to question marks.
123 But we're in luck! We can set LC_CTYPE from the environment
124 only while we call nl_langinfo and
125 bind_textdomain_codeset. That suffices to tell gettext what
126 encoding it should emit in, so it'll now say:
128 Bjó til tóma Git lind í /hlagh/.git/
130 And the equivalent ISO-8859-1 string will be emitted under a
133 With this change way we get the advantages of setting LC_CTYPE
134 (talk to the user in his language/encoding), without the major
135 drawbacks (changed semantics for C functions we rely on).
137 However foreign functions using other message catalogs that
138 aren't using our neat trick will still have a problem, e.g. if
139 we have to call perror(3):
147 setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, "");
148 setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "C");
154 Running that will give you a message with question marks:
156 $ LANGUAGE= LANG=de_DE.utf8 ./test
157 test: Kein passendes Ger?t gefunden
159 The vsnprintf bug has been fixed since glibc 2.17.
161 Then we could simply set LC_CTYPE from the environment, which would
162 make things like the external perror(3) messages work.
