2002-11-22Ok... here's the summary:Manuel Novoa III
Hopefully locale support will build when cross compiling now. Collation is still not supported, but that's what I'm currently working on. In the next couple of days, I'll probably put up a couple of files for download that will save people the trouble of generating all the glibc locales. Added *wprintf functions, although they currently don't support floating point. That will be fixed when I rewrite _dtostr... or possibly before. Added the wcsto{inttype} functions. Added iconv() and a mini iconv utility. The require locale support and only provide for conversions involving the various unicode encodings { UCS-4*, UCS-2*, UTF-32*, UTF-16*, UTF-8 }, the 8-bit codesets built with the locale data, and the internal WCHAR_T.
2002-05-06New locale support (in development). Supports LC_CTYPE, LC_NUMERIC,Manuel Novoa III
LC_TIME, LC_MONETARY, and LC_MESSAGES for the SUSv3 items. Also, nl_langinfo() when real locale support is enabled. New implementation of ctype.h. New implementation of wctype.h. New implementation of most of the string functions (smaller). New implementation of the wcs/wmem functions. These are untested, but they're also just preprocessor-modified versions ot the corresponding str/mem functions. Tweaked qsort and new bsearch. Stuff still pending: stdlib.h and wchar.h mb<->wc functions. I actually have working versions of the stdlib ones, but the reentrant versions from wchar.h require some reworking. Basic replacement and translit support for wc->mb conversions. (groundwork laid). Simple-minded collate support such as was provided by the previous locale implementation. (mostly done -- 8-bit codesets only) Shared mmaping of the locale data and strerror message text.
