[PATCH 0/2] Improve LC_MONETARY handling.

[PATCH 0/2] Improve LC_MONETARY handling.

[Carlos O'Donell]

In glibc 2.35 we released C.UTF-8, but if you try to compile
the locale without '-c' you get the following error:

localedef -i C -f UTF-8 C.UTF-8
[error] LC_MONETARY: value for field `mon_decimal_point' 
        must not be an empty string
[error] no output file produced because errors were issued

The first patch in the series fixes bug 28845 and cleans up
LC_MONETARY handling in ld-monetary.c (monetary_finish) 
for default values and generated errors. In general we 
downgrade the errors and make them warnings.

Lastly, to prevent this from happening again we remove the
'-c' from glibc localedef uses since we do not want to force
output generation and we should always have locales that
compile cleanly.

Where locales are not clean we should implement specific
warning disabling e.g. --no-warnings=ascii for SHIFT_JIS
and SHIFT_JISX0213 (non-ascii locales). Any future locale
warnings should fail during locale compilation (install
or testing).

  localedef: Update LC_MONETARY handling (Bug 28845)
  localedata: Do not generate output if warnings were present.

[PATCH 1/2] localedef: Update LC_MONETARY handling (Bug 28845)

[Carlos O'Donell]

ISO C17, POSIX Issue 7, and ISO 30112 all allow the char*
types to be empty strings i.e. "", integer or char values to
be -1 or CHAR_MAX respectively, with the exception of
decimal_point which must be non-empty in ISO C.

We include a broad comment talking about harmonizing ISO C,
POSIX, ISO 30112, and the default C/POSIX locale for glibc.

We reorder all setting based on locale/categories.def order.

We soften all missing definitions from errors to warnings when
defaults exist.

Given that ISO C, POSIX and ISO 30112 allow the empty string
we change LC_MONETARY handling of mon_decimal_point to allow
the empty string.  If mon_decimal_point is not defined at all
then we pick the existing legacy glibc default value of
<U002E> i.e. ".".

We also set the default for mon_thousands_sep_wc at the
same time as mon_thousands_sep, but this is not a change in
behaviour, it is always either a matching value or L'\0',
but if in the future we change the default to a non-empty
string we would need to update both at the same time.

Tested on x86_64 and i686 without regressions.
Tested with install-locale-archive target.
Tested with install-locale-files target.

+     definition of a standard i18n FDCC-set, which for LC_MONETARY has the
+     following default values:
+	int_curr_symbol		""
+	currency_symbol		""

+	n_sign_posn		-1
+    Under 30112 a keyword that is not provided implies an empty string ""
+    for string values or a -1 for integer values, and indicates the value
+    is unspecified with no default implied.  No errors are considered.
+    For POSIX Issue 7 we have:
+    https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap07.html
+    and again values not provided default to "" or -1, and indicate the value
+    is not available to the locale. For the POSIX locale the values of
+    LC_MONETARY should be:
+	int_curr_symbol		""
+	currency_symbol		""
+	mon_decimal_point	""
+	mon_thousands_sep	""

+	int_n_sep_by_space	-1
+	int_p_sign_posn		-1
+	int_n_sign_posn		-1
+    Like with 30112, POSIX also considers no error if the keywords are
+    missing, only that if the cateory as a whole is missing the referencing
+    of the category results in unspecified behaviour.
+    For ISO C17 there is no default value provided, but the localeconv
+    specification in 7.11.2.1 admits that members of char * type may point
+    to "" to indicate a value is not available or is of length zero.
+    The exception is decimal_point (not mon_decimal_point) which must be a
+    defined non-empty string.  The values of char, which are generally
+    mapped to integer values in 30112 and POSIX, must be non-negative
+    numbers that map to CHAR_MAX when a value is not available in the
+    locale.
+    In ISO C17 for the "C" locale all values are empty strings "", or
+    CHAR_MAX, with the exception of decimal_point which is "." (defined
+    in LC_NUMERIC).
+
+    Lastly, we must consider the legacy C/POSIX locale that implemented
+    as a builtin in glibc and wether a default value mapping to the
+    C/POSIX locale may benefit the user from a compatibility perspective.
+
+    Thus given 30112, POSIX, ISO C, and the builtin C/POSIX locale we

[PATCH 2/2] localedata: Do not generate output if warnings were present.

[Carlos O'Donell]

With LC_MONETARY parsing fixed we can now generate locales
without forcing output with '-c'.

Removing '-c' from localedef invocation is the equivalent of
using -Werror for localedef.  The glibc locale sources should
always be clean and free from warnings.

We remove '-c' from both test locale generation and the targets
used for installing locales e.g. install-locale-archive, and
install-locale-files.

Tested on x86_64 and i686 without regressions.
Tested with install-locale-archive target.
Tested with install-locale-files target.

The code actually uses a string with *contains* a CHAR_MAX char, which
confused me.  If this is allowed, this should be documented.  Example:
