After running

export LC_ALL=tr_TR.utf8

many important Guix commands like 'guix environment', 'guix install'
and 'guix pull' fail.

$ guix environment --ad-hoc hello
Backtrace:
           1 (primitive-load "/home/florian/.config/guix/current/bin…")
In guix/ui.scm:
  1826:12  0 (run-guix-command _ . _)

guix/ui.scm:1826:12: In procedure run-guix-command:
In procedure string-length: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting string): #f


Running guix via ./pre-inst-env gives a more useful backtrace.  The
reason is that in guix/store.scm

(use-modules (ice-9 regex))
(regexp-exec (make-regexp "^/gnu/store/([0-9a-df-np-sv-z]{32})-([^/]+)$")
             "/gnu/store/bv9py3f2dsa5iw0aijqjv9zxwprcy1nb-fontconfig-2.13.1.drv")

evaluates to #f in Turkish, possibly because of the presence of
dotless i (ı) in the range.

The attached patch fixes the issue by including i explicitly, but I
believe enumerating all of [0-9abcdfghijklmnpqrsvwxyz] explicitly
might be more future-proof.

Shall I push the patch modified to list all letters in
[0-9abcdfghijklmnpqrsvwxyz] explicitly?  Numbers too?  I suppose there
is no downside to listing all without ranges.

I wonder what else is affected; the installer maybe?  I have not
tested yet.

Regards,
Florian

Actually it seems the issue is that i is missing from the range [a-z]
ı and ğ are missing as well, as are non-Turkish letters like ä that
are included when using the en_US.utf8 locale, even though they are no
English letters either.

(use-modules (ice-9 regex))
(regexp-exec (make-regexp "^([a-z]+)$")
             "iyiyim")

fails.

But running a glibc C program

florian@florianmacbook ~$ cat iyiyim.c
#include <regex.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#define STR "iyiyim"
int main (int    argc,
          char** argv)
{
  regex_t only_letters;
  int r = regcomp (&only_letters, "[a-z]", 0);
  if (r != 0)
    printf ("This error does not happen.\n");
  r = regexec (&only_letters, STR, 0, NULL, 0);
  if (r == 0)
    printf ("The string " STR " matched!\n");
  else
    printf ("No match for " STR ".\n");
}
florian@florianmacbook ~$ gcc -o iyiyim iyiyim.c 
florian@florianmacbook ~$ LANG=tr_TR.utf8 ./iyiyim 
The string iyiyim matched!

succeeds on tr_TR.utf8 and en_US.utf8 locales (and a native Turkish
speaker confirmed to me ıi should be in the alphabet right after h).
Maybe this is a bug in Guile, somehow?

I checked; the graphical installer appears unaffected, but the issue
appears on the installed system.

This seems similar to <https://bugs.gnu.org/35785>.  I think
enumerating all characters explicitly is a similar fix, whether or not
there is a bug in Guile.

Yes, same story.

To me it’s not a bug in Guile, but simply the fact that regexps, as
implemented by the C library, are locale-dependent.

The patch you proposed looks good to me, though perhaps we could
explicitly list all the alphabet in the regexp?

A better option is to reimplement ‘store-path-package-name’ in a way
similar to ‘store-path-hash-part’, as in commit
35eb77b09d957019b2437e7681bd88013d67d3cd.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.

(use-modules (ice-9 regex))
(regexp-exec (make-regexp "^([a-z]+)$")
             "iyiyim")
⇒ #f

Guile’s behavior that i is not among [a-z] has been confirmed as
unexpected by a natively Turkish friend of mine.  It is different from
the behavior of current glibc:

florian@florianmacbook ~$ cat iyiyim.c
#include <regex.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define STR "iyiyım"
int main (int    argc,
          char** argv)
{
  regex_t only_letters;
  int r = regcomp (&only_letters, "[a-z]+", REG_EXTENDED);
  if (r != 0)
    printf ("This error does not happen.\n");
  r = regexec (&only_letters, STR, 1, malloc (sizeof (regmatch_t)), 0);
  if (r == 0)
    printf ("The string " STR " matched!\n");
  else
    printf ("No match for " STR ".\n");
}
florian@florianmacbook ~$ gcc -o iyiyim iyiyim.c
florian@florianmacbook ~$ LANG=tr_TR.utf8 ./iyiyim 
The string iyiyım matched!

Apparently Guile uses a bundled regular expression library rather than
glibc.  I can try making Guile use a newer GNUlib for its regular
expressions, maybe that helps.  Shall I file a separate bug for Guile?

I suppose it would be better to cache the compiled regexp.  What is
this mcached syntax inside (guix store)?  Or do I use Scheme’s 'delay'
and 'force' for caching?

The attached patch fixes the regexp.  Shall I push the attached patch
and then try making it cache the compiled regexp or do you still
prefer an implementation without regexps?  Why would not using a
regexp be better?

Regards,
Florian

You’re seeing a different behavior because you forgot a:

  setlocale (LC_ALL, "");

call here.

I lean towards avoiding regexps altogether, as I wrote above.

WDYT?

It reduces reliance on libc, reduces complexity, and performs better as
noted in the commit log of 35eb77b09d957019b2437e7681bd88013d67d3cd.

Thanks,

Thank you for your wisdom.  I hope the attached patch is OK.

`LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 make check` is mostly fine (except tests/pack.scm,
which also failed before).

Manual testing of `./pre-inst-env guix environment` works.

`LC_ALL=tr_TR.utf8 make check` is still very unhappy though.
There are many failures.  I will continue to investigate later today.

Regards,
Florian

I’d just write:

  Partly fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/39970>.

Concise, clear, greppable.  :-)

LGTM, thank you!

The tests fail to many other uses of [a-z] in regexps.  I will look;
for e.g. guix/import/cran.scm

(if (string-match "^[A-Za-z][^ :]+:( |\n|$)" line)
    …)

it would be easier and clearer to just list [a-z] explicitly:

Yes, agreed.

It would be nice if ‘string-match’ & co. could take an optional locale
object (info "(guile) i18n Introduction") but that’s not the case
currently.

Thanks,

Also native Turkish speaker here, and yeah that seems like a clear bug.

By the way, Turkish doesn't have q, w, or x.  So if [a-z] is interpreted
by locale, it would fail to match those letters.  I suppose that doesn't
matter for the patch you guys used but it might have been part of the
original problem.

The dotless lowercase i / dotted uppercase I mostly bites programmers in
case conversion.  The uppercase of i is İ and the lowercase of I is ı.
There was even an exploit in GitHub related to this:

Sorry for forgetting about this bug.  The above

LC_ALL=tr_TR.utf8 make check TESTS=tests/cran.scm

is *not* fixed, but I won’t take the time to really understand and fix
the few remaining troubles, I think.  Possibly libc bug
<https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23393> is the real
issue.

Regards,
Florian
