https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1122 is ambiguous. The first time it is described: The bind_textdomain_codeset() function shall set or query the binding of a text domain to the output codeset used by the gettext family of functions for message strings retrieved from messages objects for the text domain specified by domainname... Otherwise, if codeset is a null pointer: * If domainname is not bound, the function shall return the implementation-defined default codeset used by the gettext family of functions. And immediately thereafter: If codeset is a null pointer and domainname is a non-empty string, bind_textdomain_codeset() shall return the current codeset for the named domain, or a null pointer if a codeset has not yet been set. In practice (GNU, musl, BSD, Solaris, ...?) it looks like the second is followed. Desired Action: Clarify the return value when the domainname is an unbound, nonempty string and codeset is null. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2024-12-17 19:14 mjo New Issue 2024-12-17 19:14 mjo Name => Michael Orlitzky 2024-12-17 19:14 mjo Section => bind_textdomain_codeset 2024-12-17 19:14 mjo Page Number => (page or range of pages) 2024-12-17 19:14 mjo Line Number => (Line or range of lines) ======================================================================
