/* utility functions for handling locale-specific stuff like what
 * character represents the decimal point.
 *
 * All C programs have an underlying locale.  Perl code generally doesn't pay
 * any attention to it except within the scope of a 'use locale'.  For most
 * categories, it accomplishes this by just using different operations if it is
 * in such scope than if not.  However, various libc functions called by Perl
 * are affected by the LC_NUMERIC category, so there are macros in perl.h that
 * are used to toggle between the current locale and the C locale depending on
 * the desired behavior of those functions at the moment.  And, LC_MESSAGES is
 * switched to the C locale for outputting the message unless within the scope
 * of 'use locale'.
 *
 * This code now has multi-thread-safe locale handling on systems that support
 * that.  This is completely transparent to most XS code.  On earlier systems,
 * it would be possible to emulate thread-safe locales, but this likely would
 * involve a lot of locale switching, and would require XS code changes.
 * Macros could be written so that the code wouldn't have to know which type of
 * system is being used.
 *
 * Table-driven code is used for simplicity and clarity, as many operations
 * differ only in which category is being worked on.  However the system
 * categories need not be small contiguous integers, so do not lend themselves
 * to table lookup.  Instead we have created our own equivalent values which
 * are all small contiguous non-negative integers, and translation functions
 * between the two sets.  For category 'LC_foo', the name of our index is
 * LC_foo_INDEX_.  Various parallel tables, indexed by these, are used.
 *
 * Many of the macros and functions in this file have one of the suffixes '_c',
 * '_r', or '_i'.  khw found these useful in remembering what type of locale
 * category to use as their parameter.  '_r' takes an int category number as
 * passed to setlocale(), like LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, etc.  The 'r' indicates that
 * the value isn't known until runtime.  '_c' also indicates such a category
 * number, but its value is known at compile time.  These are both converted
 * into unsigned indexes into various tables of category information, where the
 * real work is generally done.  The tables are generated at compile-time based
 * on platform characteristics and Configure options.  They hide from the code
 * many of the vagaries of the different locale implementations out there.  You
 * may have already guessed that '_i' indicates the parameter is such an
 * unsigned index.  Converting from '_r' to '_i' requires run-time lookup.
 * '_c' is used to get cpp to do this at compile time.  To avoid the runtime
 * expense, the code is structured to use '_r' at the API level, and once
 * converted, everything possible is done using the table indexes.
 *
 * On unthreaded perls, most operations expand out to just the basic
 * setlocale() calls.  The same is true on threaded perls on modern Windows
 * systems where the same API, after set up, is used for thread-safe locale
 * handling.  On other systems, there is a completely different API, specified
 * in POSIX 2008, to do thread-safe locales.  On these systems, our
 * emulate_setlocale_i() function is used to hide the different API from the
 * outside.  This makes it completely transparent to most XS code.
 *
 * A huge complicating factor is that the LC_NUMERIC category is normally held
 * in the C locale, except during those relatively rare times when it needs to
 * be in the underlying locale.  There is a bunch of code to accomplish this,
 * and to allow easy switches from one state to the other.
 *
 * In addition, the setlocale equivalents have versions for the return context,
 * 'void' and 'bool', besides the full return value.  This can present
 * opportunities for avoiding work.  We don't have to necessarily create a safe
 * copy to return if no return is desired.
 *
 * There are 3.5 major implementations here; which one chosen depends on what
 * the platform has available, and Configuration options.
 *
 * 1) Raw my_setlocale().  Here the layer adds nothing.  This is used for
 *    unthreaded perls, and when the API for safe locale threading is identical
 *    to the unsafe API (Windows, currently).
 *
 * 2) A minimal layer that makes my_setlocale() uninterruptible and returns a
 *    per-thread/per-category value.
 *
 * 3a and 3b) A layer that implements POSIX 2008 thread-safe locale handling,
 *    mapping the setlocale() API to them.  This automatically makes almost all
 *    code thread-safe without need for changes.  This layer is chosen on
 *    threaded perls when the platform supports the POSIX 2008 functions, and
 *    when there is no manual override in Configure.
 *
 *    3a) is when the platform has a reliable querylocale() function or
 *        equivalent that is selected to be used.
 *    3b) is when we have to emulate that functionality.
 *
 * z/OS (os390) is an outlier.  Locales really don't work under threads when
 * either the radix character isn't a dot, or attempts are made to change
 * locales after the first thread is created.  The reason is that IBM has made
 * it thread-safe by refusing to change locales (returning failure if
 * attempted) any time after an application has called pthread_create() to
 * create another thread.  The expectation is that an application will set up
 * its locale information before the first fork, and be stable thereafter.  But
 * perl toggles LC_NUMERIC if the locale's radix character isn't a dot, as do
 * the other toggles, which are less common.

     * On Windows systems, the concept of the POSIX ordering of environment

     * platforms, the POSIX ordering is emulated on Windows.
     *
     * And on POSIX 2008 systems without querylocale(), it is problematic
     * getting the results of the POSIX 2008 equivalent of
     *      setlocale(category,  "")
     * (which gets the locale from the environment).
     *
     * To ensure that we know exactly what those values are, we do the setting
     * ourselves, using the documented algorithm (assuming the documentation is
     * correct) rather than use "" as the locale.  This will lead to results
     * that differ from native behavior if the native behavior differs from the
     * standard documented value, but khw believes it is better to know what's
     * going on, even if different from native, than to just guess.
     *
     * Another option for the POSIX 2008 case would be, in a critical section,
     * to save the global locale's current value, and do a straight
     * setlocale(LC_ALL, "").  That would return our desired values, destroying
     * the global locale's, which we would then restore.  But that could cause
     * races with any other thread that is using the global locale and isn't
     * using the mutex.  And, the only reason someone would have done that is
     * because they are calling a library function, like in gtk, that calls
     * setlocale(), and which can't be changed to use the mutex.  That wouldn't
     * be a problem if this were to be done before any threads had switched,
     * say during perl construction time.  But this code would still be needed
     * for the general case.
     *
     * The Windows and POSIX 2008 differ in that the ultimate fallback is "C"
     * in POSIX, and is the system default locale in Windows.  To get that
     * system default value, we actually have to call setlocale() on Windows.

     *                  that the current locale is the program's underlying
     *                  locale
     * PL_numeric_standard An int indicating if the toggled state is such
     *                  that the current locale is the C locale or
     *                  indistinguishable from the C locale.  If non-zero, it
     *                  is in C; if > 1, it means it may not be toggled away
     *                  from C.
     * PL_numeric_underlying_is_standard   A bool kept by this function
     *                  indicating that the underlying locale and the standard
     *                  C locale are indistinguishable for the purposes of
     *                  LC_NUMERIC.  This happens when both of the above two
     *                  variables are true at the same time.  (Toggling is a
     *                  no-op under these circumstances.)  This variable is
     *                  used to avoid having to recalculate.
     * PL_numeric_radix_sv  Contains the string that code should use for the
     *                  decimal point.  It is set to either a dot or the
     *                  program's underlying locale's radix character string,
     *                  depending on the situation.
     * PL_underlying_radix_sv  Contains the program's underlying locale's radix
     *                  character string.  This is copied into
     *                  PL_numeric_radix_sv when the situation warrants.  It
     *                  exists to avoid having to recalculate it when toggling.
     * PL_underlying_numeric_obj = (only on POSIX 2008 platforms)  An object
     *                  with everything set up properly so as to avoid work on
     *                  such platforms.

/*
=for apidoc Perl_setlocale

This is an (almost) drop-in replacement for the system L<C<setlocale(3)>>,
taking the same parameters, and returning the same information, except that it
returns the correct underlying C<LC_NUMERIC> locale.  Regular C<setlocale> will
instead return C<C> if the underlying locale has a non-dot decimal point
character, or a non-empty thousands separator for displaying floating point
numbers.  This is because perl keeps that locale category such that it has a
dot and empty separator, changing the locale briefly during the operations
where the underlying one is required. C<Perl_setlocale> knows about this, and
compensates; regular C<setlocale> doesn't.

Another reason it isn't completely a drop-in replacement is that it is
declared to return S<C<const char *>>, whereas the system setlocale omits the
C<const> (presumably because its API was specified long ago, and can't be
updated; it is illegal to change the information C<setlocale> returns; doing
so leads to segfaults.)

Finally, C<Perl_setlocale> works under all circumstances, whereas plain
C<setlocale> can be completely ineffective on some platforms under some
configurations.

Changing the locale is not a good idea when more than one thread is running,
except on systems where the predefined variable C<${^SAFE_LOCALES}> is 1.
This is because on such systems the locale is global to the whole process and
not local to just the thread calling the function.  So changing it in one
thread instantaneously changes it in all.  On some such systems, the system
C<setlocale()> is ineffective, returning the wrong information, and failing to
actually change the locale.  z/OS refuses to try to change the locale once a
second thread is created.  C<Perl_setlocale>, should give you accurate results
of what actually happened on these problematic platforms, returning NULL if the
system forbade the locale change.

The return points to a per-thread static buffer, which is overwritten the next
time C<Perl_setlocale> is called from the same thread.

=for apidoc      Perl_langinfo
=for apidoc_item Perl_langinfo8

C<Perl_langinfo> is an (almost) drop-in replacement for the system
C<L<nl_langinfo(3)>>, taking the same C<item> parameter values, and returning
the same information.  But it is more thread-safe than regular
C<nl_langinfo()>, and hides the quirks of Perl's locale handling from your
code, and can be used on systems that lack a native C<nl_langinfo>.

However, you should instead use the improved version of this:
L</Perl_langinfo8>, which behaves identically except for an additional
parameter, a pointer to a variable declared as L</C<utf8ness_t>>, into which it
returns to you how you should treat the returned string with regards to it
being encoded in UTF-8 or not.

Concerning the differences between these and plain C<nl_langinfo()>:

=over

=item a.

C<Perl_langinfo8> has an extra parameter, described above.  Besides this, the
other reason they aren't quite a drop-in replacement is actually an advantage.
The C<const>ness of the return allows the compiler to catch attempts to write
into the returned buffer, which is illegal and could cause run-time crashes.

=item b.

They deliver the correct results for the C<RADIXCHAR> and C<THOUSEP> items,
without you having to write extra code.  The reason for the extra code would be
because these are from the C<LC_NUMERIC> locale category, which is normally
kept set by Perl so that the radix is a dot, and the separator is the empty
string, no matter what the underlying locale is supposed to be, and so to get
the expected results, you have to temporarily toggle into the underlying
locale, and later toggle back.  (You could use plain C<nl_langinfo> and
C<L</STORE_LC_NUMERIC_FORCE_TO_UNDERLYING>> for this but then you wouldn't get
the other advantages of C<Perl_langinfo()>; not keeping C<LC_NUMERIC> in the C
(or equivalent) locale would break a lot of CPAN, which is expecting the radix
(decimal point) character to be a dot.)

=item c.

The system function they replace can have its static return buffer trashed,
not only by a subsequent call to that function, but by a C<freelocale>,
C<setlocale>, or other locale change.  The returned buffer of these functions
is not changed until the next call to one or the other, so the buffer is never
in a trashed state.

=item d.

The return buffer is per-thread, so it also is never overwritten by a call to
these functions from another thread;  unlike the function it replaces.

=item e.

But most importantly, they work on systems that don't have C<nl_langinfo>, such
as Windows, hence making your code more portable.  Of the fifty-some possible
items specified by the POSIX 2008 standard,
L<http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/langinfo.h.html>,
only one is completely unimplemented, though on non-Windows platforms, another
significant one is not fully implemented).  They use various techniques to
recover the other items, including calling C<L<localeconv(3)>>, and
C<L<strftime(3)>>, both of which are specified in C89, so should be always be
available.  Later C<strftime()> versions have additional capabilities; What the
C locale yields or C<""> is returned for any item not available on your system.

It is important to note that, when called with an item that is recovered by
using C<localeconv>, the buffer from any previous explicit call to
C<L<localeconv(3)>> will be overwritten.  But you shouldn't be using
C<localeconv> anyway because it is is very much not thread-safe, and suffers
from the same problems outlined in item 'b.' above for the fields it returns that
are controlled by the LC_NUMERIC locale category.  Instead, avoid all of those
problems by calling L</Perl_localeconv>, which is thread-safe; or by using the
methods given in L<perlcall>  to call
L<C<POSIX::localeconv()>|POSIX/localeconv>, which is also thread-safe.

=back

The details for those items which may deviate from what this emulation returns
and what a native C<nl_langinfo()> would return are specified in
L<I18N::Langinfo>.

When using C<Perl_langinfo8> (or plain C<Perl_langinfo>) on systems that don't
have a native C<nl_langinfo()>, you must

 #include "perl_langinfo.h"

before the C<perl.h> C<#include>.  You can replace your F<langinfo.h>
C<#include> with this one.  (Doing it this way keeps out the symbols that plain
F<langinfo.h> would try to import into the namespace for code that doesn't need
it.)

     *      }
     *
     * This sets all the categories to the values in the current environment,
     * saves them temporarily in curlocales[] until they can be handled and/or
     * on some platforms saved in a per-thread array PL_curlocales[].
     *
     * f(foo) is a mapping from the opaque system category numbers to small
     * non-negative integers used most everywhere in this file as indices into
     * arrays (such as curlocales[]) so the program doesn't have to otherwise
     * deal with the opaqueness.
     *
     * If the platform doesn't have LC_ALL, the lines marked 'x' above are
     * effectively replaced by:
     *      foreach (subcategory) {                                           y
     *          curlocales[f(subcategory)] = setlocale(subcategory, "");      y
     *      }                                                                 y
     *
     * The only differences being the lack of an LC_ALL call, and using ""
     * instead of NULL in the setlocale calls.
     *
     * But there are, of course, complications.
     *
     * it has to deal with if this is an embedded perl, whose locale doesn't
     * come from the environment, but has been set up by the caller.  This is
     * pretty simply handled: the "" in the setlocale calls is not a string
     * constant, but a variable which is set to NULL in the embedded case.
     *
     * But the major complication is handling failure and doing fallback.  All
     * the code marked 'x' or 'y' above is actually enclosed in an outer loop,
     * using the array trial_locales[].  On entry, trial_locales[] is
     * initialized to just one entry, containing the NULL or "" locale argument
     * shown above.  If, as is almost always the case, everything works, it
     * exits after just the one iteration, going on to the next step.
     *
     * But if there is a failure, the code tries its best to honor the
     * environment as much as possible.  It self-modifies trial_locales[] to
     * have more elements, one for each of the POSIX-specified settings from
     * the environment, such as LANG, ending in the ultimate fallback, the C
     * locale.  Thus if there is something bogus with a higher priority
     * environment variable, it will try with the next highest, until something
     * works.  If everything fails, it limps along with whatever state it got
     * to.
     *
     * A further complication is that Windows has an additional fallback, the
     * user-default ANSI code page obtained from the operating system.  This is
     * added as yet another loop iteration, just before the final "C"
     *
     * A slight complication is that in embedded Perls, the locale may already
     * be set-up, and we don't want to get it from the normal environment
     * variables.  This is handled by having a special environment variable
     * indicate we're in this situation.  We simply set setlocale's 2nd
     * parameter to be a NULL instead of "".  That indicates to setlocale that
     * it is not to change anything, but to return the current value,
     * effectively initializing perl's db to what the locale already is.
     *
     * We play the same trick with NULL if a LC_ALL succeeds.  We call
     * setlocale() on the individual categories with NULL to get their existing
     * values for our db, instead of trying to change them.

    /* A locale collation definition includes primary, secondary, tertiary,
     * etc. weights for each character.  To sort, the primary weights are used,
     * and only if they compare equal, then the secondary weights are used, and
     * only if they compare equal, then the tertiary, etc.
     *
     * strxfrm() works by taking the input string, say ABC, and creating an
     * output transformed string consisting of first the primary weights,
     * A¹B¹C¹ followed by the secondary ones, A²B²C²; and then the tertiary,
     * etc, yielding A¹B¹C¹ A²B²C² A³B³C³ ....  Some characters may not have
     * weights at every level.  In our example, let's say B doesn't have a
     * tertiary weight, and A doesn't have a secondary weight.  The constructed
     * string is then going to be
     *  A¹B¹C¹ B²C² A³C³ ....
     * This has the desired effect that strcmp() will look at the secondary or
     * tertiary weights only if the strings compare equal at all higher
     * priority weights.  The spaces shown here, like in
     *  "A¹B¹C¹ A²B²C² "
     * are not just for readability.  In the general case, these must actually
     * be bytes, which we will call here 'separator weights'; and they must be
     * smaller than any other weight value, but since these are C strings, only
     * the terminating one can be a NUL (some implementations may include a
     * non-NUL separator weight just before the NUL).  Implementations tend to
     * reserve 01 for the separator weights.  They are needed so that a shorter
     * string's secondary weights won't be misconstrued as primary weights of a
     * longer string, etc.  By making them smaller than any other weight, the
     * shorter string will sort first.  (Actually, if all secondary weights are
     * smaller than all primary ones, there is no need for a separator weight
     * between those two levels, etc.)
     *
     * The length of the transformed string is roughly a linear function of the
     * input string.  It's not exactly linear because some characters don't
     * have weights at all levels.  When we call strxfrm() we have to allocate
     * some memory to hold the transformed string.  The calculations below try
     * to find coefficients 'm' and 'b' for this locale so that m*x + b equals
     * how much space we need, given the size of the input string in 'x'.  If
     * we calculate too small, we increase the size as needed, and call
     * strxfrm() again, but it is better to get it right the first time to
     * avoid wasted expensive string transformations.
     *
     * We use the string below to find how long the transformation of it is.
     * Almost all locales are supersets of ASCII, or at least the ASCII
     * letters.  We use all of them, half upper half lower, because if we used
     * fewer, we might hit just the ones that are outliers in a particular
     * locale.  Most of the strings being collated will contain a preponderance
     * of letters, and even if they are above-ASCII, they are likely to have
     * the same number of weight levels as the ASCII ones.  It turns out that
     * digits tend to have fewer levels, and some punctuation has more, but
     * those are relatively sparse in text, and khw believes this gives a
     * reasonable result, but it could be changed if experience so dictates. */

 * LC_MESSAGES locale if in scope and we have that category; and LC_CTYPE if we
 * don't have LC_MESSAGES; and whatever strerror returns if we don't have
 * either category.
 *
 * There are two sets of implementations.  The first below is if we have
 * strerror_l().  This is the simpler.  We just use the already-built C locale
 * object if not in locale scope, or build up a custom one otherwise.
 *
 * When strerror_l() is not available, we may have to swap locales temporarily
 * to bring the two categories into sync with each other, and possibly to the C
 * locale.
 *
 * Because the prepropessing directives to conditionally compile this function
 * would greatly obscure the logic of the various implementations, the whole
 * function is repeated for each configuration, with some common macros. */

=for apidoc switch_to_global_locale

This function copies the locale state of the calling thread into the program's
global locale, and converts the thread to use that global locale.

It is intended so that Perl can safely be used with C libraries that access the
global locale and which can't be converted to not access it.  Effectively, this
means libraries that call C<L<setlocale(3)>> on non-Windows systems.  (For
portability, it is a good idea to use it on Windows as well.)

A downside of using it is that it disables the services that Perl provides to
hide locale gotchas from your code.  The service you most likely will miss
regards the radix character (decimal point) in floating point numbers.  Code
executed after this function is called can no longer just assume that this
character is correct for the current circumstances.

To return to Perl control, and restart the gotcha prevention services, call
C<L</sync_locale>>.  Behavior is undefined for any pure Perl code that executes
while the switch is in effect.

The global locale and the per-thread locales are independent.  As long as just
one thread converts to the global locale, everything works smoothly.  But if
more than one does, they can easily interfere with each other, and races are
likely.  On Windows systems prior to Visual Studio 15 (at which point Microsoft
fixed a bug), races can occur (even if only one thread has been converted to
the global locale), but only if you use the following operations:

=over

=item L<POSIX::localeconv|POSIX/localeconv>

=item L<I18N::Langinfo>, items C<CRNCYSTR> and C<THOUSEP>

=item L<perlapi/Perl_langinfo>, items C<CRNCYSTR> and C<THOUSEP>

=back

The first item is not fixable (except by upgrading to a later Visual Studio
release), but it would be possible to work around the latter two items by
having Perl change its algorithm for calculating these to use Windows API
functions (likely C<GetNumberFormat> and C<GetCurrencyFormat>); patches
welcome.

XS code should never call plain C<setlocale>, but should instead be converted
to either call L<C<Perl_setlocale>|perlapi/Perl_setlocale> (which is a drop-in
for the system C<setlocale>) or use the methods given in L<perlcall> to call
L<C<POSIX::setlocale>|POSIX/setlocale>.  Either one will transparently properly
handle all cases of single- vs multi-thread, POSIX 2008-supported or not.

=for apidoc sync_locale

This function copies the state of the program global locale into the calling
thread, and converts that thread to using per-thread locales, if it wasn't
already, and the platform supports them.  The LC_NUMERIC locale is toggled into
the standard state (using the C locale's conventions), if not within the
lexical scope of S<C<use locale>>.

Perl will now consider itself to have control of the locale.

Since unthreaded perls have only a global locale, this function is a no-op
without threads.

This function is intended for use with C libraries that do locale manipulation.
It allows Perl to accommodate the use of them.  Call this function before
transferring back to Perl space so that it knows what state the C code has left
things in.

XS code should not manipulate the locale on its own.  Instead,
L<C<Perl_setlocale>|perlapi/Perl_setlocale> can be used at any time to query or
change the locale (though changing the locale is antisocial and dangerous on
multi-threaded systems that don't have multi-thread safe locale operations.
(See L<perllocale/Multi-threaded operation>).

Using the libc L<C<setlocale(3)>> function should be avoided.  Nevertheless,
certain non-Perl libraries called from XS, do call it, and their behavior may
not be able to be changed.  This function, along with
C<L</switch_to_global_locale>>, can be used to get seamless behavior in these
circumstances, as long as only one thread is involved.

If the library has an option to turn off its locale manipulation, doing that is
preferable to using this mechanism.  C<Gtk> is such a library.

The return value is a boolean: TRUE if the global locale at the time of call
was in effect for the caller; and FALSE if a per-thread locale was in effect.
