23 /* utility functions for handling locale-specific stuff like what
24 * character represents the decimal point.
26 * All C programs have an underlying locale. Perl code generally doesn't pay
27 * any attention to it except within the scope of a 'use locale'. For most
28 * categories, it accomplishes this by just using different operations if it is
29 * in such scope than if not. However, various libc functions called by Perl
30 * are affected by the LC_NUMERIC category, so there are macros in perl.h that
31 * are used to toggle between the current locale and the C locale depending on
32 * the desired behavior of those functions at the moment. And, LC_MESSAGES is
33 * switched to the C locale for outputting the message unless within the scope
36 * This code now has multi-thread-safe locale handling on systems that support
37 * that. This is completely transparent to most XS code. On earlier systems,
38 * it would be possible to emulate thread-safe locales, but this likely would
39 * involve a lot of locale switching, and would require XS code changes.
40 * Macros could be written so that the code wouldn't have to know which type of
41 * system is being used. It's unlikely that we would ever do that, since most
42 * modern systems support thread-safe locales, but there was code written to
43 * this end, and is retained, #ifdef'd out.

520 * can be overwritten by other system calls, so needs to be copied
521 * immediately if you need to retain it. The difference here is that
522 * system calls besides another setlocale() can overwrite it.
524 * By doing this, most locale-sensitive functions become thread-safe. The

527 * This function takes the same parameters, 'category' and 'locale', that
528 * the regular setlocale() function does, but it also takes two additional
529 * ones. This is because the 2008 functions don't use a category; instead
530 * they use a corresponding mask. Because this function operates in both

532 * calculate the mask from the input category, but to avoid this

534 * can pass it, setting 'is_index_valid' to TRUE; otherwise the mask

537 * POSIX 2008, for some sick reason, chose not to provide a method to find
538 * the category name of a locale. Some vendors have created a
539 * querylocale() function to do just that. This function is a lot simpler
540 * to implement on systems that have this. Otherwise, we have to keep
541 * track of what the locale has been set to, so that we can return its
542 * name to emulate setlocale(). It's also possible for C code in some
543 * library to change the locale without us knowing it, though as of
544 * September 2017, there are no occurrences in CPAN of uselocale(). Some
545 * libraries do use setlocale(), but that changes the global locale, and
546 * threads using per-thread locales will just ignore those changes.
547 * Another problem is that without querylocale(), we have to guess at what
548 * was meant by setting a locale of "". We handle this by not actually
549 * ever setting to "" (unless querylocale exists), but to emulate what we

1977 * are C strings, only the terminating one can be a NUL (some
1978 * implementations may include a non-NUL separator weight just before
1979 * the NUL). Implementations tend to reserve 01 for the separator
1980 * weights. They are needed so that a shorter string's secondary
1981 * weights won't be misconstrued as primary weights of a longer string,
1982 * etc. By making them smaller than any other weight, the shorter
1983 * string will sort first. (Actually, if all secondary weights are
1984 * smaller than all primary ones, there is no need for a separator
1985 * weight between those two levels, etc.)
1987 * The length of the transformed string is roughly a linear function of
1988 * the input string. It's not exactly linear because some characters
1989 * don't have weights at all levels. When we call strxfrm() we have to
1990 * allocate some memory to hold the transformed string. The
1991 * calculations below try to find coefficients 'm' and 'b' for this
1992 * locale so that m*x + b equals how much space we need, given the size
1993 * of the input string in 'x'. If we calculate too small, we increase

2289 This is an (almost) drop-in replacement for the system L<C<setlocale(3)>>,
2290 taking the same parameters, and returning the same information, except that it
2291 returns the correct underlying C<LC_NUMERIC> locale. Regular C<setlocale> will
2292 instead return C<C> if the underlying locale has a non-dot decimal point
2293 character, or a non-empty thousands separator for displaying floating point
2294 numbers. This is because perl keeps that locale category such that it has a
2295 dot and empty separator, changing the locale briefly during the operations
2296 where the underlying one is required. C<Perl_setlocale> knows about this, and
2297 compensates; regular C<setlocale> doesn't.
2299 Another reason it isn't completely a drop-in replacement is that it is
2300 declared to return S<C<const char *>>, whereas the system setlocale omits the
2301 C<const> (presumably because its API was specified long ago, and can't be
2302 updated; it is illegal to change the information C<setlocale> returns; doing
2303 so leads to segfaults.)
2305 Finally, C<Perl_setlocale> works under all circumstances, whereas plain
2306 C<setlocale> can be completely ineffective on some platforms under some
2309 C<Perl_setlocale> should not be used to change the locale except on systems
2310 where the predefined variable C<${^SAFE_LOCALES}> is 1. On some such systems,
2311 the system C<setlocale()> is ineffective, returning the wrong information, and
2312 failing to actually change the locale. C<Perl_setlocale>, however works
2313 properly in all circumstances.
2315 The return points to a per-thread static buffer, which is overwritten the next
2316 time C<Perl_setlocale> is called from the same thread.

2496 This is an (almost) drop-in replacement for the system C<L<nl_langinfo(3)>>,
2497 taking the same C<item> parameter values, and returning the same information.
2498 But it is more thread-safe than regular C<nl_langinfo()>, and hides the quirks
2499 of Perl's locale handling from your code, and can be used on systems that lack
2500 a native C<nl_langinfo>.
2508 The reason it isn't quite a drop-in replacement is actually an advantage. The
2509 only difference is that it returns S<C<const char *>>, whereas plain
2510 C<nl_langinfo()> returns S<C<char *>>, but you are (only by documentation)
2511 forbidden to write into the buffer. By declaring this C<const>, the compiler
2512 enforces this restriction, so if it is violated, you know at compilation time,
2513 rather than getting segfaults at runtime.
2517 It delivers the correct results for the C<RADIXCHAR> and C<THOUSEP> items,
2518 without you having to write extra code. The reason for the extra code would be
2519 because these are from the C<LC_NUMERIC> locale category, which is normally
2520 kept set by Perl so that the radix is a dot, and the separator is the empty
2521 string, no matter what the underlying locale is supposed to be, and so to get
2522 the expected results, you have to temporarily toggle into the underlying
2523 locale, and later toggle back. (You could use plain C<nl_langinfo> and
2524 C<L</STORE_LC_NUMERIC_FORCE_TO_UNDERLYING>> for this but then you wouldn't get
2525 the other advantages of C<Perl_langinfo()>; not keeping C<LC_NUMERIC> in the C
2526 (or equivalent) locale would break a lot of CPAN, which is expecting the radix
2527 (decimal point) character to be a dot.)
2531 The system function it replaces can have its static return buffer trashed,
2532 not only by a subesequent call to that function, but by a C<freelocale>,
2533 C<setlocale>, or other locale change. The returned buffer of this function is
2534 not changed until the next call to it, so the buffer is never in a trashed
2539 Its return buffer is per-thread, so it also is never overwritten by a call to
2540 this function from another thread; unlike the function it replaces.
2544 But most importantly, it works on systems that don't have C<nl_langinfo>, such
2545 as Windows, hence makes your code more portable. Of the fifty-some possible
2546 items specified by the POSIX 2008 standard,
2547 L<http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/langinfo.h.html>,
2548 only one is completely unimplemented, though on non-Windows platforms, another
2549 significant one is also not implemented). It uses various techniques to
2550 recover the other items, including calling C<L<localeconv(3)>>, and
2551 C<L<strftime(3)>>, both of which are specified in C89, so should be always be
2552 available. Later C<strftime()> versions have additional capabilities; C<""> is
2553 returned for those not available on your system.
2555 It is important to note that when called with an item that is recovered by
2556 using C<localeconv>, the buffer from any previous explicit call to
2557 C<localeconv> will be overwritten. This means you must save that buffer's
2558 contents if you need to access them after a call to this function. (But note
2559 that you might not want to be using C<localeconv()> directly anyway, because of
2560 issues like the ones listed in the second item of this list (above) for
2561 C<RADIXCHAR> and C<THOUSEP>. You can use the methods given in L<perlcall> to
2562 call L<POSIX/localeconv> and avoid all the issues, but then you have a hash to
2565 The details for those items which may deviate from what this emulation returns
2566 and what a native C<nl_langinfo()> would return are specified in
2571 When using C<Perl_langinfo> on systems that don't have a native
2572 C<nl_langinfo()>, you must
2574 #include "perl_langinfo.h"
2576 before the C<perl.h> C<#include>. You can replace your C<langinfo.h>
2577 C<#include> with this one. (Doing it this way keeps out the symbols that plain
2578 C<langinfo.h> would try to import into the namespace for code that doesn't need
2581 The original impetus for C<Perl_langinfo()> was so that code that needs to
2582 find out the current currency symbol, floating point radix character, or digit
2583 grouping separator can use, on all systems, the simpler and more
2584 thread-friendly C<nl_langinfo> API instead of C<L<localeconv(3)>> which is a
2585 pain to make thread-friendly. For other fields returned by C<localeconv>, it
2586 is better to use the methods given in L<perlcall> to call
2587 L<C<POSIX::localeconv()>|POSIX/localeconv>, which is thread-friendly.

3285 * This looks more complicated than it is, mainly due to the #ifdefs.
3287 * We try to set LC_ALL to the value determined by the environment. If
3288 * there is no LC_ALL on this platform, we try the individual categories we
3289 * know about. If this works, we are done.
3291 * But if it doesn't work, we have to do something else. We search the
3292 * environment variables ourselves instead of relying on the system to do
3293 * it. We look at, in order, LC_ALL, LANG, a system default locale (if we
3294 * think there is one), and the ultimate fallback "C". This is all done in
3295 * the same loop as above to avoid duplicating code, but it makes things
3296 * more complex. The 'trial_locales' array is initialized with just one
3297 * element; it causes the behavior described in the paragraph above this to
3298 * happen. If that fails, we add elements to 'trial_locales', and do extra
3299 * loop iterations to cause the behavior described in this paragraph.
3301 * On Ultrix, the locale MUST come from the environment, so there is
3302 * preliminary code to set it. I (khw) am not sure that it is necessary,
3303 * and that this couldn't be folded into the loop, but barring any real
3304 * platforms to test on, it's staying as-is
3306 * A slight complication is that in embedded Perls, the locale may already
3307 * be set-up, and we don't want to get it from the normal environment
3308 * variables. This is handled by having a special environment variable
3309 * indicate we're in this situation. We simply set setlocale's 2nd
3310 * parameter to be a NULL instead of "". That indicates to setlocale that
3311 * it is not to change anything, but to return the current value,
3312 * effectively initializing perl's db to what the locale already is.
3314 * We play the same trick with NULL if a LC_ALL succeeds. We call
3315 * setlocale() on the individual categores with NULL to get their existing

5434 On systems without locale support, or on typical single-threaded builds, or on
5435 platforms that do not support per-thread locale operations, this function does
5436 nothing. On such systems that do have locale support, only a locale global to
5437 the whole program is available.
5439 On multi-threaded builds on systems that do have per-thread locale operations,
5440 this function converts the thread it is running in to use the global locale.
5441 This is for code that has not yet or cannot be updated to handle multi-threaded
5442 locale operation. As long as only a single thread is so-converted, everything
5443 works fine, as all the other threads continue to ignore the global one, so only
5444 this thread looks at it.
5446 However, on Windows systems this isn't quite true prior to Visual Studio 15,
5447 at which point Microsoft fixed a bug. A race can occur if you use the
5448 following operations on earlier Windows platforms:
5452 =item L<POSIX::localeconv|POSIX/localeconv>
5454 =item L<I18N::Langinfo>, items C<CRNCYSTR> and C<THOUSEP>
5456 =item L<perlapi/Perl_langinfo>, items C<CRNCYSTR> and C<THOUSEP>
5460 The first item is not fixable (except by upgrading to a later Visual Studio
5461 release), but it would be possible to work around the latter two items by using
5462 the Windows API functions C<GetNumberFormat> and C<GetCurrencyFormat>; patches
5465 Without this function call, threads that use the L<C<setlocale(3)>> system
5466 function will not work properly, as all the locale-sensitive functions will
5467 look at the per-thread locale, and C<setlocale> will have no effect on this
5470 Perl code should convert to either call
5471 L<C<Perl_setlocale>|perlapi/Perl_setlocale> (which is a drop-in for the system
5472 C<setlocale>) or use the methods given in L<perlcall> to call
5473 L<C<POSIX::setlocale>|POSIX/setlocale>. Either one will transparently properly
5474 handle all cases of single- vs multi-thread, POSIX 2008-supported or not.
5476 Non-Perl libraries, such as C<gtk>, that call the system C<setlocale> can
5477 continue to work if this function is called before transferring control to the
5480 Upon return from the code that needs to use the global locale,
5481 L<C<sync_locale()>|perlapi/sync_locale> should be called to restore the safe
5482 multi-thread operation.

5526 multi-threaded systems that don't have multi-thread safe locale operations.
5527 (See L<perllocale/Multi-threaded operation>). Using the system
5528 L<C<setlocale(3)>> should be avoided. Nevertheless, certain non-Perl libraries
5529 called from XS, such as C<Gtk> do so, and this can't be changed. When the
5530 locale is changed by XS code that didn't use
5531 L<C<Perl_setlocale>|perlapi/Perl_setlocale>, Perl needs to be told that the
5532 locale has changed. Use this function to do so, before returning to Perl.
5534 The return value is a boolean: TRUE if the global locale at the time of call
5535 was in effect; and FALSE if a per-thread locale was in effect. This can be
5536 used by the caller that needs to restore things as-they-were to decide whether
