Our version of this function currently returns an integer indicating
failure or success, whereas POSIX specifies that this function has no
return value. It returns void. Patch up the header, sources and man page
to use the right type. While there, use the opportunity to simplify the
body of this function.
Theoretically speaking, this change breaks the ABI of this function.
That said, I have yet to find any code that makes use of freelocale()'s
return value. I couldn't find any of it in the base system, nor did an
exp-run reveal any breakage caused by this change.
PR: 211394 (exp-run)
Fix a missing .h and change the recommended include for the POSIX2008 functions from xlocale.h to locale.h. Including xlocale.h is for legacy / Darwin compatibility so should not be encouraged.
load of _l suffixed versions of various standard library functions that use
the global locale, making them take an explicit locale parameter. Also
adds support for per-thread locales. This work was funded by the FreeBSD
Foundation.
Please test any code you have that uses the C standard locale functions!
