2022-03-16fix invalid free of duplocale object when malloc has been replacedIsaiah Poston-0/+5
newlocale and freelocale use __libc_malloc and __libc_free, but duplocale used malloc. If malloc was replaced, this resulted in invalid free using the wrong allocator when passing the result of duplocale to freelocale. Instead, use libc-internal malloc for duplocale. This bug was introduced by commit 1e4204d522670a1d8b8ab85f1cfefa960547e8af.
2015-05-27overhaul locale internals to treat categories roughly uniformlyRich Felker-9/+2
previously, LC_MESSAGES was treated specially as the only category which could be set to a locale name without a definition file, in order to facilitate gettext message translations when no libc locale was available. LC_NUMERIC was completely un-settable, and LC_CTYPE stored a flag intended to be used for a possible future byte-based C locale, instead of storing a __locale_map pointer like the other categories use. this patch changes all categories to be represented by pointers to __locale_map structures, and allows locale names without definition files to be treated as valid locales with trivial definition when used in any category. outwardly visible functional changes should be minor, limited mainly to the strings read back from setlocale and the way gettext handles translations in categories other than LC_MESSAGES. various internal refactoring has also been performed, and improvements in const correctness have been made.
2015-04-21fix duplocale clobbering of new locale struct with memcpy of oldRich Felker-1/+2
when the non-stub duplocale code was added as part of the locale framework in commit 0bc03091bb674ebb9fa6fe69e4aec1da3ac484f2, the old code to memcpy the old locale object to the new one was left behind. the conditional for the memcpy no longer makes sense, because the conditions are now always-true when it's reached, and the memcpy is wrong because it clobbers the new->messages_name pointer setup just above. since the messages_name and ctype_utf8 members have already been copied, all that remains is the cat[] array. these pointers are volatile, so using memcpy to copy them is formally wrong; use a for loop instead.
2014-07-02add locale frameworkRich Felker-4/+11
this commit adds non-stub implementations of setlocale, duplocale, newlocale, and uselocale, along with the data structures and minimal code needed for representing the active locale on a per-thread basis and optimizing the common case where thread-local locale settings are not in use. at this point, the data structures only contain what is necessary to represent LC_CTYPE (a single flag) and LC_MESSAGES (a name for use in finding message translation files). representation for the other categories will be added later; the expectation is that a single pointer will suffice for each. for LC_CTYPE, the strings "C" and "POSIX" are treated as special; any other string is accepted and treated as "C.UTF-8". for other categories, any string is accepted after being truncated to a maximum supported length (currently 15 bytes). for LC_MESSAGES, the name is kept regardless of whether libc itself can use such a message translation locale, since applications using catgets or gettext should be able to use message locales libc is not aware of. for other categories, names which are not successfully loaded as locales (which, at present, means all names) are treated as aliases for "C". setlocale never fails. locale settings are not yet used anywhere, so this commit should have no visible effects except for the contents of the string returned by setlocale.

2012-06-20duplocale: don't crash when called with LC_GLOBAL_LOCALERich Felker-1/+1
posix has resolved to add this usage; for now, we just avoid writing anything to the new locale object since it's not used anyway.
