Subject: [bug#67686] [PATCH core-updates 0/5] Update glibc to 2.38; make C.UTF-8 always available
Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2023 11:19:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1701943221.git.ludo@gnu.org> (raw)
Hello fellow core updaters!
Here’s a patch to (1) upgrade glibc on ‘core-updates’, and (2) make the
“C.UTF-8” locale always available.
The upgrade itself will need several iterations so we can check whether
cross-compilation still works, for which we need help from ci.guix.
It removes ‘glibc-allow-kernel-2.6.32.patch’, which no longer applies,
so we’ll have to do a poll to ensure nobody relies on this (this is
mostly for HPC people, who tend to have machines running old and
heavily-patched kernels, but hopefully this particular flavor is now
gone.)
With the upgrade, we should be able to:
(define-public glibc/hurd glibc)
Perhaps we’ll even get support for x86_64-gnu (!), though IIRC we may
need a couple more patches.
As for #2, it means that:
setlocale (LC_ALL, "C.UTF-8");
is guaranteed to always succeed. This is pretty big deal for us
because then we can get rid of most use cases for ‘glibc-utf8-locales’.
The main use of ‘glibc-utf8-locales’ is to ensure that Guile (and other
programs that behave similar) can run in a UTF-8 locale and thus
decode file names & co. according to that locale’s encoding. We’ll
be able to replace snippets like:
#~(begin
(setenv "GUIX_LOCPATH"
#$(file-append glibc-utf8-locales "/lib/locale"))
(setlocale LC_ALL "en_US.utf8")
…)
with:
#~(begin
(setlocale LC_ALL "C.UTF-8")
…)
Thoughts?
Note that I needed Greg’s GCC 11.4.0 upgrade
from <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/66730> as a prerequisite
since libsanitizer in GCC 11.3.0 fails to build with glibc 2.38.
