locale: localdef input files are now encoded in UTF-8
Previously, they were assumed to be in ISO-8859-1, and that the output charset overlapped with ISO-8859-1 for the characters actually used. However, this did not work as intended on many architectures even for an ISO-8859-1 output encoding because of the char signedness bug in lr_getc. Therefore, this commit switches to UTF-8 without making provisions for backwards compatibility. The following Elisp code can be used to convert locale definition files to UTF-8: (defun glibc/convert-localedef (from to) (interactive "r") (save-excursion (save-restriction (narrow-to-region from to) (goto-char (point-min)) (save-match-data (while (re-search-forward "<U\\([0-9a-fA-F]+\\)>" nil t) (let* ((codepoint (string-to-number (match-string 1) 16)) (converted (cond ((memq codepoint '(?/ ?\ ?< ?>)) (string ?/ codepoint)) ((= codepoint ?\") "<U0022>") (t (string codepoint))))) (replace-match converted t))))))) Reviewed-by:Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> Tested-by:
