locale_t/newlocale()/uselocale() and the *_l() apis are hardly "Linuxize your OS", they are POSIX. I talked to the Gnome people about this issue. It seems the initial consumers are xml/xsl processing (e.g. xml/xsl @lang and sort directives), which is used *everywhere* and GtkCalendar. The other point was that the locale_t functions are used in shared libraries, which should be able to do locale processing in all locales the user wants, but should not change the per process global locale to avoid race conditions with other shared libraries. Stubs won't be allowed, too. configure will just fail if they detect a stub which still uses or relies on setlocale(). > > A.S. > > > > ---------------------- > Apostolos Syropoulos > Xanthi, Greece > > > _______________________________________________ > OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list > OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org > http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss Irek _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
