|
| -A couple of notes on the standard.
|
| -</p><p>
|
| -First, why is <code class="code">messages_base::catalog</code> specified as a typedef
|
| -to int? This makes sense for implementations that use
|
| -<code class="code">catopen</code>, but not for others. Fortunately, it's not heavily
|
| -used and so only a minor irritant.
|
| -</p><p>
|
| -Second, by making the member functions <code class="code">const</code>, it is
|
| -impossible to save state in them. Thus, storing away information used
|
| -in the 'open' member function for use in 'get' is impossible. This is
|
| -unfortunate.
|
| -</p><p>
|
| -The 'open' member function in particular seems to be oddly
|
| -designed. The signature seems quite peculiar. Why specify a <code class="code">const
|
| -string& </code> argument, for instance, instead of just <code class="code">const
|
| -char*</code>? Or, why specify a <code class="code">const locale&</code> argument that is
|
| -to be used in the 'get' member function? How, exactly, is this locale
|
| -argument useful? What was the intent? It might make sense if a locale
|
| -argument was associated with a given default message string in the
|
| -'open' member function, for instance. Quite murky and unclear, on
|
| -reflection.
|
| -</p><p>
|
| -Lastly, it seems odd that messages, which explicitly require code
|
| -conversion, don't use the codecvt facet. Because the messages facet
|
| -has only one template parameter, it is assumed that ctype, and not
|
| -codecvt, is to be used to convert between character sets.
|
| -</p><p>
|
| -It is implicitly assumed that the locale for the default message
|
| -string in 'get' is in the "C" locale. Thus, all source code is assumed
|
| -to be written in English, so translations are always from "en_US" to
|
| -other, explicitly named locales.

|
| - This is a relatively simple class, on the face of it. The standard
|
| - specifies very little in concrete terms, so generic
|
| - implementations that are conforming yet do very little are the
|
| - norm. Adding functionality that would be useful to programmers and
|
| - comparable to Java's java.text.MessageFormat takes a bit of work,
|
| - and is highly dependent on the capabilities of the underlying
|
| - operating system.
|
| - </p><p>
|
| - Three different mechanisms have been provided, selectable via
|
| - configure flags:
|
| - </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
|
| - generic
|
| - </p><p>
|
| - This model does very little, and is what is used by default.
|
| - </p></li><li><p>
|
| - gnu
|
| - </p><p>
|
| - The gnu model is complete and fully tested. It's based on the
|
| - GNU gettext package, which is part of glibc. It uses the
|
| - functions <code class="code">textdomain, bindtextdomain, gettext</code> to
|
| - implement full functionality. Creating message catalogs is a
|
| - relatively straight-forward process and is lightly documented
|
| - below, and fully documented in gettext's distributed
|
| - documentation.
|
| - </p></li><li><p>
|
| - ieee_1003.1-200x
|
| - </p><p>
|
| - This is a complete, though untested, implementation based on
|
| - the IEEE standard. The functions <code class="code">catopen, catgets,
|
| - catclose</code> are used to retrieve locale-specific messages
|
| - given the appropriate message catalogs that have been
|
| - constructed for their use. Note, the script <code class="code">
|
| - po2msg.sed</code> that is part of the gettext distribution can
|
| - convert gettext catalogs into catalogs that
|
| - <code class="code">catopen</code> can use.
|
| - </p></li></ul></div><p>
|
| -A new, standards-conformant non-virtual member function signature was
|
| -added for 'open' so that a directory could be specified with a given
|
| -message catalog. This simplifies calling conventions for the gnu
|
| -model.

|
| - The messages facet, because it is retrieving and converting
|
| - between characters sets, depends on the ctype and perhaps the
|
| - codecvt facet in a given locale. In addition, underlying "C"
|
| - library locale support is necessary for more than just the
|
| - <code class="code">LC_MESSAGES</code> mask: <code class="code">LC_CTYPE</code> is also
|
| - necessary. To avoid any unpleasantness, all bits of the "C" mask
|
| - (i.e. <code class="code">LC_ALL</code>) are set before retrieving messages.
|
| - </p><p>
|
| - Making the message catalogs can be initially tricky, but become
|
| - quite simple with practice. For complete info, see the gettext
|
| - documentation. Here's an idea of what is required:
|
| - </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>

|
| - to be translated. See <code class="code">intl/string_literals.cc</code> for

|
| - </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="circle"><li><p>
|
| - _M_convert_from_char, _M_convert_to_char are in flux,
|
| - depending on how the library ends up doing character set
|
| - conversions. It might not be possible to do a real character
|
| - set based conversion, due to the fact that the template
|
| - parameter for messages is not enough to instantiate the
|
| - codecvt facet (1 supplied, need at least 2 but would prefer
|
| - 3).
|
| - </p></li><li><p>
|
| - There are issues with gettext needing the global locale set
|
| - to extract a message. This dependence on the global locale
|
| - makes the current "gnu" model non MT-safe. Future versions
|
| - of glibc, i.e. glibc 2.3.x will fix this, and the C++ library
|
| - bits are already in place.
|
| - </p></li></ul></div></li><li><p>
|
| - Development versions of the GNU "C" library, glibc 2.3 will allow
|
| - a more efficient, MT implementation of std::messages, and will
|
| - allow the removal of the _M_name_messages data member. If this is
|
| - done, it will change the library ABI. The C++ parts to support
|
| - glibc 2.3 have already been coded, but are not in use: once this
|
| - version of the "C" library is released, the marked parts of the
|
| - messages implementation can be switched over to the new "C"
|
| - library functionality.
|
| - </p></li><li><p>
|
| - At some point in the near future, std::numpunct will probably use
|
| - std::messages facilities to implement truename/falsename
|
| - correctly. This is currently not done, but entries in
|
| - libstdc++.pot have already been made for "true" and "false" string
|
| - literals, so all that remains is the std::numpunct coding and the
|
| - configure/make hassles to make the installed library search its
|
| - own catalog. Currently the libstdc++.mo catalog is only searched
|
| - for the testsuite cases involving messages members.
|
| - </p></li><li><p> The following member functions:</p><p>
|
| - <code class="code">
|
| - catalog
|
| - open(const basic_string<char>& __s, const locale& __loc) const
|
| - </code>
|
| - </p><p>
|
| - <code class="code">
|
| - catalog
|
| - open(const basic_string<char>&, const locale&, const char*) const;
|
| - </code>
|
| - </p><p>
|
| - Don't actually return a "value less than 0 if no such catalog
|
| - can be opened" as required by the standard in the "gnu"
|
| - model. As of this writing, it is unknown how to query to see
|
| - if a specified message catalog exists using the gettext
|
| - package.
