Spotted by Tony Cook Commit: 26830906eb0df48e0b835354edab68236dcaf22d https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/26830906eb0df48e0b835354edab68236dcaf22d Author: Karl Williamson Date: 2024-01-15 (Mon, 15 Jan 2024) Changed paths: M locale.c Log Message: --- locale.c: Use strtod over snprintf for radix determination I have been a little leery of parsing a formatted number to look for the radix character, which is what has been done with snprintf on MingW. It just seems brittle; it's possible (if unlikely) for the output to be right-to-left, for example. And then I saw cases where snprintf always used a dot on MingW; and the Windows documentation makes no mention of the possibility of another radix character. Experimentation by Tony Cook showed that it could output a comma instead; and the dots I was getting were probably cockpit errors. But almost all locales in the world use either a dot or a comma, and I think it better to start with a string "1,5" or "1.5" and see which strtod() parses correctly. We then don't have to ourselves parse, but see how strtod parses known strings by looking at what it calculates as the value. In a dot locale, for example, "1,5" will not yield anything like 1.5. Should we encounter a locale not using either a dot nor a comma, the code drops down to call localeconv() to return the actual character string. On platforms where using localeconv() isn't known to have a race (MSVC since VS2015, for example), the code previously always used localeconv(), because of my leeriness about parsing an unknown string. But now strtod is used, being less buggy and faster than localeconv; and less brittle thant snprintf. This change also avoids the malloc that the snprintf() version required.

[Perl/perl5] 0b52bb: Return C values if localeconv() not available
Branch: refs/heads/blead Home: https://github.com/Perl/perl5 Commit: 0b52bb633d8c55bb15f05cdb19a4b7cb071ea271 https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/0b52bb633d8c55bb15f05cdb19a4b7cb071ea271 Author: Karl Williamson Date: 2024-01-15 (Mon, 15 Jan 2024) Changed paths: M embed.fnc M embed.h M locale.c M proto.h Log Message: --- Return C values if localeconv() not available localeconv() is a C89 function. But the existing code handled the case if it isn't available anyway by returning an empty hash if POSIX::localeconv() is called. Prior commits have made it actually easier to instead return the hash populated with the values that the C locale has, which is more desirable than the current state. And that is what this commit does. There are reasons that localeconv() might not be available. We recently had a case where Configure didn't catch its existence. And it still is broken on MingW, and until recently on older Windows releases that we now no longer support. Workarounds were developed for those cases, but there may be other platforms where it ends up broken without a workaround, and this code handles them better and more simply than before this commit.
[Perl/perl5] 511669: Add API function sv_langinfo()
Branch: refs/heads/blead Home: https://github.com/Perl/perl5 Commit: 51166936e4342134180c32271e1bbc5e0f9f2a02 https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/51166936e4342134180c32271e1bbc5e0f9f2a02 Author: Karl Williamson Date: 2024-01-15 (Mon, 15 Jan 2024) Changed paths: M embed.fnc M embed.h M ext/I18N-Langinfo/Langinfo.xs M locale.c M pod/perldelta.pod M proto.h Log Message: --- Add API function sv_langinfo() This performs the same task as Perl_langinfo8(), but returns an SV. This is typically more convenient for the caller. It turns out that nl_langinfo() has some weird returns that aren't yet exposed by perl, but future commits will. An SV makes these easier to cope with.
