+ This trick arranges for messages to be emitted in the user's
+ requested encoding, but avoids setting LC_CTYPE from the
+ environment for the whole program.
+
+ This primarily done to avoid a bug in vsnprintf in the GNU C
+ Library [1]. which triggered a "your vsnprintf is broken" error
+ on Git's own repository when inspecting v0.99.6~1 under a UTF-8
+ locale.
+
+ That commit contains a ISO-8859-1 encoded author name, which
+ the locale aware vsnprintf(3) won't interpolate in the format
+ argument, due to mismatch between the data encoding and the
+ locale.
+
+ Even if it wasn't for that bug we wouldn't want to use LC_CTYPE at
+ this point, because it'd require auditing all the code that uses C
+ functions whose semantics are modified by LC_CTYPE.
+
+ But only setting LC_MESSAGES as we do creates a problem, since
+ we declare the encoding of our PO files[2] the gettext
+ implementation will try to recode it to the user's locale, but
+ without LC_CTYPE it'll emit something like this on 'git init'
+ under the Icelandic locale:
+
+ Bj? til t?ma Git lind ? /hlagh/.git/
+
+ Gettext knows about the encoding of our PO file, but we haven't
+ told it about the user's encoding, so all the non-US-ASCII
+ characters get encoded to question marks.
+
+ But we're in luck! We can set LC_CTYPE from the environment
+ only while we call nl_langinfo and
+ bind_textdomain_codeset. That suffices to tell gettext what
+ encoding it should emit in, so it'll now say:
+
+ Bjó til tóma Git lind í /hlagh/.git/
+
+ And the equivalent ISO-8859-1 string will be emitted under a
+ ISO-8859-1 locale.
+
+ With this change way we get the advantages of setting LC_CTYPE
+ (talk to the user in his language/encoding), without the major
+ drawbacks (changed semantics for C functions we rely on).
+
+ However foreign functions using other message catalogs that
+ aren't using our neat trick will still have a problem, e.g. if
+ we have to call perror(3):
+
+ #include <stdio.h>
+ #include <locale.h>
+ #include <errno.h>
+
+ int main(void)
+ {
+ setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, "");
+ setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "C");
+ errno = ENODEV;
+ perror("test");
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+ Running that will give you a message with question marks:
+
+ $ LANGUAGE= LANG=de_DE.utf8 ./test
+ test: Kein passendes Ger?t gefunden
+
+ In the long term we should probably see about getting that
+ vsnprintf bug in glibc fixed, and audit our code so it won't
+ fall apart under a non-C locale.
+
+ Then we could simply set LC_CTYPE from the environment, which would
+ make things like the external perror(3) messages work.
+
+ See t/t0203-gettext-setlocale-sanity.sh's "gettext.c" tests for
+ regression tests.
