this is necessary for MT-fork correctness now that the code runs under
locale lock. it would not be hard to avoid, but __get_locale is
already using libc-internal malloc anyway. this can be reconsidered
during locale overhaul later if needed.
|
|
in general, pthread_once is not compatible with MT-fork constraints
(commit 167390f05564e0a4d3fcb4329377fd7743267560). here it actually no
longer matters, because it's now called with a lock held, but since
the lock is held it's pointless to use pthread_once.
|
|
this allows the lock to be shared with setlocale, eliminates repeated
per-category lock/unlock in newlocale, and will allow the use of
pthread_once in newlocale to be dropped (to be done separately).

commit aeeac9ca5490d7d90fe061ab72da446c01ddf746 introduced fail-safe
invariants that creating a locale_t object for the C locale or C.UTF-8
locale will always succeed. extend the guarantee to also cover the
following:
- newlocale(LC_ALL_MASK, "", 0)
- newlocale(LC_ALL_MASK-LC_CTYPE_MASK, "C", 0)
provided that the LANG/LC_* environment variables have not been
changed by the program. these usages are idiomatic for getting the
default locale, and for getting a locale that behaves as the C locale
except for honoring the default locale's character encoding.

unify the code paths for allocated and non-allocated locale objects,
always using a tmp object. this is necessary to avoid clobbering the
base locale object too soon if we allow for the possibility that
looking up an explicitly requested locale name may fail, and makes the
code simpler and cleaner anyway.
eliminate the complex and fragile logic for checking whether one of
the non-allocated locale objects can be used for the result, and
instead just memcmp against each of them.

libc.h was intended to be a header for access to global libc state and
related interfaces, but ended up included all over the place because
it was the way to get the weak_alias macro. most of the inclusions
removed here are places where weak_alias was needed. a few were
recently introduced for hidden. some go all the way back to when
libc.h defined CANCELPT_BEGIN and _END, and all (wrongly implemented)
cancellation points had to include it.
remaining spurious users are mostly callers of the LOCK/UNLOCK macros
and files that use the LFS64 macro to define the awful *64 aliases.
in a few places, new inclusion of libc.h is added because several
internal headers no longer implicitly include libc.h.
declarations for __lockfile and __unlockfile are moved from libc.h to
stdio_impl.h so that the latter does not need libc.h. putting them in
libc.h made no sense at all, since the macros in stdio_impl.h are
needed to use them correctly anyway.

this frees applications which need to make temporary use of the C
locale (via uselocale) from the possibility that newlocale might fail.
the C.UTF-8 locale is also provided as a static locale. presently they
behave the same, but this may change in the future.

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.

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.
