musl's newlocale() always provides a locale object even the requested
locale does not exist. Let's explicitly check the existence of the
requested locale file.
Now that the necessary functions from log.h have been moved to macro.h,
we can stop including log.h in macro.h. This requires modifying source
files all over the tree to include log.h instead.
The glibc API is behind the wrapper is called "secure_getenv()", hence
our wrapper really should keep the order too, otherwise things are just
too confusing.
This further restricts the charset of locales to better reflect what
locales actually look like.
This allows us to safely join locale names using the `:` character, for
instance, which cannot appear in a locale name and is used by the
`$LANGUAGE` env var
-1 was used everywhere, but -EBADF or -EBADFD started being used in various
places. Let's make things consistent in the new style.
Note that there are two candidates:
EBADF 9 Bad file descriptor
EBADFD 77 File descriptor in bad state
Since we're initializating the fd, we're just assigning a value that means
"no fd yet", so it's just a bad file descriptor, and the first errno fits
better. If instead we had a valid file descriptor that became invalid because
of some operation or state change, the other errno would fit better.
In some places, initialization is dropped if unnecessary.
This is useful to force off fancy unicode glyph use (i.e. use "->"
instead of "→"), which is useful in tests where locales might be
missing, and thus control via $LC_CTYPE is not reliable.
Use this in TEST-58, to ensure the output checks we do aren't confused
by missing these glyphs being unicode or not.
The name "def.h" originates from before the rule of "no needless abbreviations"
was established. Let's rename the file to clarify that it contains a collection
of various semi-related constants.
The data type off_t can be 64 on 32 bit systems if they have large
file support. Since mmap expects a size_t with 32 bits as second
argument truncation could occur. At worst these huge files could
lead to mmaps smaller than the previous check for small files.
This in turn shouldn't have a lot of impact because mmap allocates
at page size boundaries. This also made the PAGE_ALIGN call in
open_mmap unneeded. In fact it was neither in sync with other mmap
calls nor with its own munmap counterpart in error path.
If such large files are encountered, which is very unlikely in these
code paths, treat them with the same error as if they are too small.
These functions are used pretty much independently of locale, i.e. the
only info relevant is whether th locale is UTF-8 or not. Hence let's
give this its own pair of .c/.h files.
Let's define both an enum and a typedef named SpecialGlyph, the way we
usually do it.
Also, introduce an "invalid" special glyph, assigned to -EINVAL, also
like we always do it. (And handle it somewhat sanely in special_glyph()
This new helper checks whether the specified locale is installed. It's
distinct from locale_is_valid() which just superficially checks if a
string looks like something that could be a valid locale.
Heavily inspired by @jsynacek's #13964.
Replaces: #13964
Let's add the actual unicode names of the glyphs we use. Let's also add
in comments what the width expectations of these glyphs are on the
console.
Also, remove the "mdash" definition. First of all it wasn't used, but
what's worse the glyph encoded was actually an "ndash"...
Fixes: #14075
Let's hide non-UTF-8 locales by default. It's 2019 after all.
Let's add an undocumented env var to reenable listing them though.
This should substantially shorten the list of choices we offer users,
and only show realistic choices.
note that only firstboot and localectl make use of this information, and
both allow configuration of values outside of these lists, hence all
this change does is hide legacy options, but they are still available if
you know what you do, and that's how it should be.
