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

 * All C programs have an underlying locale.  Perl 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'.

     * magic includes the collation index, and the transformation of the string
     * by strxfrm(), q.v.  That transformation is used when doing comparisons,
     * instead of the string itself.  If a string changes, the magic is
     * cleared.  The next time the locale changes, the index is incremented,
     * and so we know during a comparison that the transformation is not
     * necessarily still valid, and so is recomputed.  Note that if the locale
     * changes enough times, the index could wrap (a U32), and it is possible

         *
         * strxfrm() works by taking the input string, say ABC, and creating an
         * output transformed string consisting of first the primary weights,
         * A¹B¹C¹ followed by the secondary ones, A²B²C²; and then the
         * tertiary, etc, yielding A¹B¹C¹ A²B²C² A³B³C³ ....  Some characters

         * weight.  The constructed string is then going to be
         *  A¹B¹C¹ B²C² A³C³ ....
         * This has the desired effect that strcmp() will look at the secondary
         * or tertiary weights only if the strings compare equal at all higher
         * priority weights.  The spaces shown here, like in
         *  "A¹B¹C¹ * A²B²C² "
         * are not just for readability.  In the general case, these must
         * 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,
         * etc.  By making them smaller than any other weight, the shorter
         * string will sort first.  (Actually, if all secondary weights are
         * smaller than all primary ones, there is no need for a separator
         * 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
         * the size as needed, and call strxfrm() again, but it is better to
         * get it right the first time to avoid wasted expensive string
         * transformations. */

     *    1 = set ok or not applicable,
     *    0 = fallback to a locale of lower priority
     *   -1 = fallback to all locales failed, not even to the C locale
     *
     * Under -DDEBUGGING, if the environment variable PERL_DEBUG_LOCALE_INIT is
     * set, debugging information is output.
     *
     * This looks more complicated than it is, mainly due to the #ifdefs.
     *
     * We try to set LC_ALL to the value determined by the environment.  If
     * there is no LC_ALL on this platform, we try the individual categories we
     * 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
     * think there is one), and the ultimate fallback "C".  This is all done in
     * the same loop as above to avoid duplicating code, but it makes things
     * more complex.  After the original failure, we add the fallback
     * possibilities to the list of locales to try, and iterate the loop
     * through them all until one succeeds.
     *
     * 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.
