/* utility functions for handling locale-specific stuff like what

 * All C programs have an underlying locale.  Perl code generally doesn't pay
 * any attention to it except within the scope of a 'use locale'.  For most
 * categories, it accomplishes this by just using different operations if it is
 * in such scope than if not.  However, various libc functions called by Perl
 * are affected by the LC_NUMERIC category, so there are macros in perl.h that
 * are used to toggle between the current locale and the C locale depending on
 * the desired behavior of those functions at the moment.  And, LC_MESSAGES is
 * switched to the C locale for outputting the message unless within the scope
 * of 'use locale'.

         * actually be bytes, which we will call here 'separator weights'; and
         * they must be smaller than any other weight value, but since these
         * are C strings, only the terminating one can be a NUL (some
         * implementations may include a non-NUL separator weight just before
         * the NUL).  Implementations tend to reserve 01 for the separator
         * weights.  They are needed so that a shorter string's secondary
         * weights won't be misconstrued as primary weights of a longer string,

         * weight between those two levels, etc.)
         *
         * The length of the transformed string is roughly a linear function of
         * the input string.  It's not exactly linear because some characters
         * don't have weights at all levels.  When we call strxfrm() we have to
         * allocate some memory to hold the transformed string.  The
         * calculations below try to find coefficients 'm' and 'b' for this
         * locale so that m*x + b equals how much space we need, given the size
         * of the input string in 'x'.  If we calculate too small, we increase

=for apidoc Perl_langinfo

This is an (almost ª) drop-in replacement for the system C<L<nl_langinfo(3)>>,
taking the same C<item> parameter values, and returning the same information.
But it is more thread-safe than regular C<nl_langinfo()>, and hides the quirks
of Perl's locale handling from your code, and can be used on systems that lack
a native C<nl_langinfo>.

Expanding on these:

=over

=item *

It delivers the correct results for the C<RADIXCHAR> and C<THOUSESEP> items,
without you having to write extra code.  The reason for the extra code would be
because these are from the C<LC_NUMERIC> locale category, which is normally
kept set to the C locale by Perl, no matter what the underlying locale is
supposed to be, and so to get the expected results, you have to temporarily
toggle into the underlying locale, and later toggle back.  (You could use
plain C<nl_langinfo> and C<L</STORE_LC_NUMERIC_FORCE_TO_UNDERLYING>> for this
but then you wouldn't get the other advantages of C<Perl_langinfo()>; not
keeping C<LC_NUMERIC> in the C locale would break a lot of CPAN, which is
expecting the radix (decimal point) character to be a dot.)

=item *

Depending on C<item>, it works on systems that don't have C<nl_langinfo>, hence
makes your code more portable.  Of the fifty-some possible items specified by
the POSIX 2008 standard,
L<http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/langinfo.h.html>,
only two are completely unimplemented.  It uses various techniques to recover
the other items, including calling C<L<localeconv(3)>>, and C<L<strftime(3)>>,
both of which are specified in C89, so should be always be available.  Later
C<strftime()> versions have additional capabilities; C<""> is returned for
those not available on your system.

The details for those items which may differ from what this emulation returns
and what a native C<nl_langinfo()> would return are:

=over

=item C<CODESET>

=item C<ERA>

Unimplemented, so returns C<"">.

=item C<YESEXPR>

=item C<YESSTR>

=item C<NOEXPR>

=item C<NOSTR>

Only the values for English are returned.  C<YESSTR> and C<NOSTR> have been
removed from POSIX 2008, and are retained for backwards compatibility.  Your
platform's C<nl_langinfo> may not support them.

=item C<D_FMT>

Always evaluates to C<%x>, the locale's appropriate date representation.

=item C<T_FMT>

Always evaluates to C<%X>, the locale's appropriate time representation.

=item C<D_T_FMT>

Always evaluates to C<%c>, the locale's appropriate date and time
representation.

=item C<CRNCYSTR>

The return may be incorrect for those rare locales where the currency symbol
replaces the radix character.
Send email to L<mailto:perlbug@perl.org> if you have examples of it needing
to work differently.

=item C<ALT_DIGITS>

Currently this gives the same results as Linux does.
Send email to L<mailto:perlbug@perl.org> if you have examples of it needing
to work differently.

=item C<ERA_D_FMT>

=item C<ERA_T_FMT>

=item C<ERA_D_T_FMT>

=item C<T_FMT_AMPM>

These are derived by using C<strftime()>, and not all versions of that function
know about them.  C<""> is returned for these on such systems.

=back

When using C<Perl_langinfo> on systems that don't have a native
C<nl_langinfo()>, you must

 #include "perl_langinfo.h"

before the C<perl.h> C<#include>.  You can replace your C<langinfo.h>
C<#include> with this one.  (Doing it this way keeps out the symbols that plain
C<langinfo.h> imports into the namespace for code that doesn't need it.)

You also should not use the bare C<langinfo.h> item names, but should preface
them with C<PERL_>, so use C<PERL_RADIXCHAR> instead of plain C<RADIXCHAR>.
The C<PERL_I<foo>> versions will also work for this function on systems that do
have a native C<nl_langinfo>.

=item *

It is thread-friendly, returning its result in a buffer that won't be
overwritten by another thread, so you don't have to code for that possibility.
The buffer can be overwritten by the next call to C<nl_langinfo> or
C<Perl_langinfo> in the same thread.

=item *

ª It returns S<C<const char *>>, whereas plain C<nl_langinfo()> returns S<C<char
*>>, but you are (only by documentation) forbidden to write into the buffer.
By declaring this C<const>, the compiler enforces this restriction.  The extra
C<const> is why this isn't an unequivocal drop-in replacement for
C<nl_langinfo>.

=back

The original impetus for C<Perl_langinfo()> was so that code that needs to
find out the current currency symbol, floating point radix character, or digit
grouping separator can use, on all systems, the simpler and more
thread-friendly C<nl_langinfo> API instead of C<L<localeconv(3)>> which is a
pain to make thread-friendly.  For other fields returned by C<localeconv>, it
is better to use the methods given in L<perlcall> to call
L<C<POSIX::localeconv()>|POSIX/localeconv>, which is thread-friendly.

     * know about.  If this works, we are done.
     *
     * But if it doesn't work, we have to do something else.  We search the
     * environment variables ourselves instead of relying on the system to do
     * it.  We look at, in order, LC_ALL, LANG, a system default locale (if we

     * element; it causes the behavior described in the paragraph above this to
     * happen.  If that fails, we add elements to 'trial_locales', and do extra
     * loop iterations to cause the behavior described in this paragraph.

     * On Ultrix, the locale MUST come from the environment, so there is
     * preliminary code to set it.  I (khw) am not sure that it is necessary,
     * and that this couldn't be folded into the loop, but barring any real
     * platforms to test on, it's staying as-is
     *
     * A slight complication is that in embedded Perls, the locale may already
     * be set-up, and we don't want to get it from the normal environment
     * variables.  This is handled by having a special environment variable
     * indicate we're in this situation.  We simply set setlocale's 2nd
     * parameter to be a NULL instead of "".  That indicates to setlocale that
     * it is not to change anything, but to return the current value,
     * effectively initializing perl's db to what the locale already is.
     *
     * We play the same trick with NULL if a LC_ALL succeeds.  We call
     * setlocale() on the individual categores with NULL to get their existing
     * values for our db, instead of trying to change them.

Changing the program's locale should be avoided by XS code.  Nevertheless,
certain non-Perl libraries called from XS, such as C<Gtk> do so.  When this
happens, Perl needs to be told that the locale has changed.  Use this function
to do so, before returning to Perl.
