            Bug ID: 28845
           Summary: ld-monetary.c should be updated to match ISO C and
                    other standards.
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.35
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: locale
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: carlos at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

In ./locale/programs/ld-monetary.c we have copied some text that appears in
monetary_finish() which is taken from other categories, but which does not
apply from a standards perspective.

ISO C's localeconf function requires that various members that can be returned
are allowed to be empty strings "", and so we should not issue warnings for
those cases (7.11.2.3).

This was discovered while harmonizing the C.UTF-8 locale:

localedef -i C -f UTF-8 C.UTF-8

now fails with:

[error] LC_MONETARY: value for field `mon_decimal_point' must not be an empty
string
[error] no output file produced because errors were issued

It turns out we ignore errors during the glibc build (--quiet -c).

I have a patch in hand for this.
