Hi Alberto, I've just faxed the agreement to the number specified. Let me know if I need to do anything else. thanks, -boris > IconvGNU and IconvFBSD transcoders override application-set locale > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: XERCESC-1660 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1660 > Project: Xerces-C++ > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Utilities > Affects Versions: 2.7.0 > Environment: any > Reporter: Boris Kolpackov > Attachments: setlocale.patch > > > When IconvGNU and IconvFBSD transcoders try to figure out the local code > page, they call setlocale with an empty string as a second argument. This > results in an implementation-specific action which usually consist of > querying a set of environment variables and overriding the current locale > with the result. This is obviously wrong since Xerces-C++ has no business > changing the default application locale. Out of curiosity I checked how > things are done in ICU. I found the following comment in the the source code: > "Do not call setlocale(LC_*, "")! Using an empty string instead of NULL, will > modify the libc behavior." > I came up with a patch that addresses this issue as well as makes the > detection code more robust. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
