Subject: setlocale - incorrect error signalled
Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2005 13:15:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200501211315.01753.bruno@clisp.org> (raw)
When setlocale is called with a locale name that doesn't exist,
the C function setlocale() returns NULL, and guile signals an error.
This is OK. But guile presents incorrect error details:
$ guile
guile> (setlocale LC_ALL "uk_UK.UTF-8")
Backtrace:
In standard input:
1: 0* [setlocale 6 "uk_UK.UTF-8"]
standard input:1:1: In procedure setlocale in expression (setlocale LC_ALL "uk_UK.UTF-8"):
standard input:1:1: No such file or directory
"No such file or directory" is incorrect. setlocale() is not required to
set errno when it fails, see
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/setlocale.html
Therefore guile should not look at errno when it signals an error.
libguile/posix.c:
rv = setlocale (scm_i_to_lc_category (category, 1), clocale);
if (rv == NULL)
SCM_SYSERROR; <=== This is the problem.
Bruno
