| Summary | 0000781: LC_*_MASK reserved identifiers in locale.h is not correct | ||||
| Description | The 'LC_[A-Z]' prefix is reserved (for macros) for locale.h in the C standard (and in the reserved identifier table in posix). but locale.h description says "Implementations may add additional masks using the form LC_* and an uppercase letter." and then in CX shaded section "Implementations may add additional masks using the form LC_*_MASK." | ||||
| Desired Action | change the text to "Implementations may add additional masks beginning with LC_ and an uppercase letter" and "Implementations may add additional masks beginning with LC_ and an uppercase letter and endig with _MASK" | ||||
| Tags | tc2-2008 | ||||

|
In locale.h POSIX reserves a separate name space from the general C form where '_MASK' is the suffix, but that isn't particularly clear. It's also CX that the general form is now limited, and there are other places, in the referenced interfaces and the reserved identifiers table, where edits could be made as clarification. |

Change page 286 line 9521 (XBD locale.h description) from:Implementations may add additional masks using the form LC_* and an uppercase letter.to: Additional macro definitions, beginning with the characters LC_ and an uppercase letter, may also be specified by the implementation. Delete page 287 line 9530: [CX]Implementations may add additional masks using the form LC_*_MASK.[/CX] Change page 287 line 9547 (rationale) from "None." to: It is suggested that each category macro name for use in setlocale() have a corresponding macro name ending in _MASK for use in newlocale(). Change page 1376 line 45474 (XSH newlocale) from: any of the other implementation-defined LC_*_MASK values defined in <locale.h>to: any of the implementation-defined mask values defined in <locale.h> |
