            Bug ID: 16915
           Summary: nl_langinfo doesn't work with static linking
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.13
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: aurelien at aurel32 dot net
                CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com

When used in statically linked binaries, nl_langinfo() does not work for some
categories, as it can be seen with a small example like that:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h> 
#include <langinfo.h> 

int main(void)
{
  setlocale (LC_ALL, "fr_FR.UTF-8");
  printf("%s\n",nl_langinfo(DAY_2));
  return 0;
}

Such a code returns "Monday" instead of "lundi" when compiled dynamically.

A patch is available on

    Fix strtold on 32-bit sparc (and probably others) (BZ #16965)

    This patch fixes an issue observed running the tst-strtod-round test on
    32 bit sparc. In some conditions, strtold calls round_and_return, which in
    turn calls __mpn_rshift with cnt = 0, while stdlib/rshift.c explicitly says
    that cnts should satisfy 0 < CNT < BITS_PER_MP_LIMB. In this case, the code
    end up doing a logical shift right of the same amount than the register,
    which is undefined in the C standard.

    Due to this bug, 32-bit sparc does not correctly convert the value
    "0x1p-16446", but it is likely that other architectures are also
    affected for other input values.

    fix nl_langinfo with static linking (BZ #16915)

    For static linking the locale code avoids linking code and data for
    unused categories. However for nl_langinfo we know only at runtime which
    categories are used, so direct reference to every nl_current_CATEGORY
    symbol should be done.

    This was broken by commit bc3e1c127392da88d0c8bf2ae728147982a3d1bc where
    nl_langinfo_l and nl_langinfo have been merged and some code has been
    lost in the process.

    In order to detect locales issues with static linking, compile a version
    of tst-langinfo with static linking.

    Note: this is Debian bug#747103 reported by Raphael
