Problem:
After passing locales created by 'duplocale' to 'uselocale',
referencing 'MB_CUR_MAX', which is actually expanded to
'__locale_mb_cur_max()' by preprocessors, causes segmentation faults.
Direct use of locales from 'newlocale' does not cause the problem.
This is the problem of 'duplocale'.
$ echo $LANG
ja_JP.UTF-8
$ cat test.c
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <locale.h>
volatile int var;
int main(void) {
locale_t const loc = newlocale(LC_ALL_MASK, "", NULL);
locale_t const dup = duplocale(loc);
locale_t const old = uselocale(dup);
var = MB_CUR_MAX; /* <-- crashes here */
uselocale(old);
freelocale(dup);
freelocale(loc);
return 0;
}
$ gcc test.c
$ ./a
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
# Note: "core dumped" in the above message was actually written in
# Japanese, but I translated the part to post a mail in English.
Bug:
In the beginning of '__loadlocale' (newlib/libc/locale/locale.c:501),
there is a code which checks if the operations can be skipped:
> /* Avoid doing everything twice if nothing has changed. */
> if (!strcmp (new_locale, loc->categories[category]))
> return loc->categories[category];
While, in the function '_duplocale_r' (newlib/libc/locale/
duplocale.c), '__loadlocale' is called as in the quoted codes:
> /* If the object is not a "C" locale category, copy it. Just call
> __loadlocale. It knows what to do to replicate the category. */
> tmp_locale.lc_cat[i].ptr = NULL;
> tmp_locale.lc_cat[i].buf = NULL;
> if (!__loadlocale (&tmp_locale, i, tmp_locale.categories[i]))
> goto error;
This call of '__loadlocale' results in the skip check being
!strcmp(tmp_locale.categories[i], tmp_locale.categories[i]),
which is always true. This means that the actual operations of
'__loadLocale' will never be performed for 'duplocale'.
Fix:
The call of '__loadlocale' in '_duplocale_r' is modified.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
