This primarily done to avoid a bug in vsnprintf in the GNU C Library [1]. which triggered a "your vsnprintf is broken" error on Git's own repository when inspecting v0.99.6~1 under a UTF-8 locale. That commit contains a ISO-8859-1 encoded author name, which the locale aware vsnprintf(3) won't interpolate in the format argument, due to mismatch between the data encoding and the locale. Even if it wasn't for that bug we wouldn't want to use LC_CTYPE at this point, because it'd require auditing all the code that uses C functions whose semantics are modified by LC_CTYPE. But only setting LC_MESSAGES as we do creates a problem, since we declare the encoding of our PO files[2] the gettext implementation will try to recode it to the user's locale, but without LC_CTYPE it'll emit something like this on 'git init' under the Icelandic locale: Bj? til t?ma Git lind ? /hlagh/.git/ Gettext knows about the encoding of our PO file, but we haven't told it about the user's encoding, so all the non-US-ASCII characters get encoded to question marks. But we're in luck! We can set LC_CTYPE from the environment only while we call nl_langinfo and bind_textdomain_codeset. That suffices to tell gettext what encoding it should emit in, so it'll now say: Bjó til tóma Git lind í /hlagh/.git/ And the equivalent ISO-8859-1 string will be emitted under a ISO-8859-1 locale. With this change way we get the advantages of setting LC_CTYPE (talk to the user in his language/encoding), without the major drawbacks (changed semantics for C functions we rely on). However foreign functions using other message catalogs that aren't using our neat trick will still have a problem, e.g. if we have to call perror(3): #include <stdio.h> #include <locale.h> #include <errno.h> int main(void) { setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, ""); setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "C"); errno = ENODEV; perror("test"); return 0; } Running that will give you a message with question marks: $ LANGUAGE= LANG=de_DE.utf8 ./test test: Kein passendes Ger?t gefunden The vsnprintf bug has been fixed since glibc 2.17. Then we could simply set LC_CTYPE from the environment, which would make things like the external perror(3) messages work.
