Alberto Massari resolved XERCESC-1660. -------------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Your patch is in SVN. Plase verify. Alberto > IconvGNU and IconvFBSD transcoders override application-set locale > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: XERCESC-1660 > URL: https://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. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
