Inefficiency when retrieving strings from message catalog
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: STDCXX-943
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-943
Project: C++ Standard Library
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: 22. Localization
Affects Versions: 4.2.1
Reporter: Travis Vitek
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 4.3
Attachments: stdcxx-943.patch
A single call to {{\_STD::messages<T>::do_get()}} can call
{{\_\_rw_manage_cat_data()}} up to three times. Since each call involves a
mutex lock/unlock, there are going to be some wasted cycles. It would be nice
to reduce this to one call. Perhaps the {{_RW::\_\_rw_get_message()}} function
could be changed to fill in a pointer to the {{\_STD::\_\_rw_locale}} that is
kept in the cache and the {{_RW::\_\_rw_get_locale()}} function could be
removed.
For binary compatibility reasons, we may need to add an overload of
{{_RW::\_\_rw_get_message}} and deprecate the other functions so that they are
removed automagically in the next major release.
