The below text is quoted from the latest POSIX draft:
: The values of locale categories shall be determined by a precedence
: order; the first condition met below determines the value:
:
: 1. If the LC_ALL environment variable is defined and is not null,
: the value of LC_ALL shall be used.
: 2. If the LC_* environment variable (LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES,
: LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, LC_TIME) is defined and is not null, the
: value of the environment variable shall be used to initialize the
: category that corresponds to the environment variable.
: 3. If the LANG environment variable is defined and is not null, the
: value of the LANG environment variable shall be used.
: 4. If the LANG environment variable is not set or is set to the empty
: string, the implementation-defined default locale shall be used.
The conditions 1 and 2 were interchanged, i.e., LC_* were looked first,
then LC_ALL, then LANG (note that LC_ALL and LANG were essentially the
same, providing the default, with LC_ALL taking precedence over LANG).
Now, LC_ALL and LANG serve the different purposes. LC_ALL overrides
any LC_*, and LANG provides the default fallback.
Testcase:
/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C LC_TIME=de_DE.ISO_8859-1 /bin/date
Should return date in the "C" locale format.

lock definitions to it. flockfile state is now allocated
along with the rest of FILE. This eliminates the need for a
separate allocation of flockfile state as well as eliminating
the mutex/lock used to serialize its allocation.
Even better formula from random() could not be intetgrated because rand_r()
supposed to store its state in the single variable (but table needed for
random() algorithm integration).
- new EV_SET macro,
- NOTE_LOWAT option for low water marks on read/write filters,
- NOTE_REVOKE for filesystem unmounting (and revoke() calls)
- improved API for EVFILT_AIO
This is about to be replaced anyway by initialization explicitly
instead of lazily, and reducing the complexity of it. As it is
now, this will work fine, however.
while with threaded software in -CURRENT acting very "weird". It has
seemed, for example, in Mozilla that threads attempting to do host
lookups have been locking up. That's exactly the case.
There was a race condition in the implementation of the initialization
of the mutex used to protect FILE operations, first of all: multiple
instances of FLOCKFILE() in libc could occur on the same FILE at
the same time and cause strange behavior by overwriting eachothers'
creation of the mutex and the rest of the file lock.
Secondly, it's not appropriate to test the "validity" of the file
descriptor referenced by the FILE; if the code is calling FLOCKFILE()
or FUNLOCKFILE(), it wants the FILE to be locked or unlocked, not
to be locked or unlocked on the condition that _file is >= 0. This
also could quite easily cause leaks by failing to perform the lock or
unlock operation when it actually is needed.
Mozilla now works again on -CURRENT when linked to libc_r.so.5 and
libc.so.5.
ABI change. There is some serious evilness here to work around some
gcc weaknesses. We need to know the sizeof(FILE) manually until __sF
goes away in the next major bump. We have the size for Alpha and i386,
missing is ia64, ppc and sparc* (and i386 with 64 bit longs).
At some point down the track we can change the stdin etc #defines to
stop hard coding the size of FILE into application binaries.

This change is to get rid of __sF[] and use seperate __stdin/out/err
handles. This means we can pad on extra bits onto the end of FILE
at will without going through this all over again. __sF[] was evil
because it compiled the sizeof(FILE) into every stdio using program.

try a hopefully more robust stdin/stdout/stderr. This costs an indirect
pointer fetch, but saves us from changes in 'FILE'. The __stdin stuff
is there to not pollute application name space if the application does
not use <stdio.h> and also in case something depended on the current
behavior where stdin etc was a #define.

Add a lock to FILE. flockfile and friends are now implemented
(for the most part) in libc. flockfile_debug is implemented in
libc_r; I suppose it's about time to kill it but will do it in

Fix a potential deadlock in _fwalk in a threaded environment.
A file flag (__SIGN) was added to stdio.h that, when set, tells
_fwalk to ignore it in its walk. This seemed to be needed in
refill.c because each file needs to be locked when flushing.
Add a stub for pthread_self in libc. This is needed by flockfile
which is allowed by POSIX to be recursive.

LC_NUMERIC::grouping) values.
. Always set __XXX_changed flags then loading numeric & monetary locale
categories to allow localeconv() to use C locale also.
LC_NUMERIC fields, but only for *grouping fields - other fields are converted
to a chars in localeconv(), so final change is:
"-1" -> "127"
127 here is because CHAR_MAX supposed, which is _positive_ (SUSv2 requirement),
not negative as 255. It is still a bit of hack. To find real CHAR_MAX will be
better to sprintf() it once somewhere in static buffer. *grouping parsing
still broken and missing and needs to be implemented.
LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC are byte-arrays, not ASCII strings!
Fix "C" locale, change "-1" to {CHAR_MAX, '\0'} according to standards.
This is only partial fix - locale loading procedure remains broken as before
and load too big values for all locales. All numeric strings there should be
converted with something like atoi() and placed into bytes. Maybe I do it
later, if someone will not fix it faster.

Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo. In order to define the prototypes
for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde). All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes. <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.
