Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.
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.
Inspired by: date(1) reference page in the Draft
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.
