* Try to set LC_CTYPE to something UTF-8 capable When fish is started with LC_CTYPE=C (even just effectively, often via LC_ALL=C!), it's basically broken. There's no way to handle non-ASCII characters with a C locale unless we want to write our locale-independent replacements for all of the system functions. Since we're not going to do that, let's try to find *some locale* for LC_CTYPE. We already do that in __fish_setlocale, but that's - a bit of a weird thing that reads unstandardized system configuration files - allows setting locale to C explicitly So it's still easily possible to end up in a broken configuration. Now, the issue with this is that there is (AFAICT) no portable way to get a list of all allowed locales and C.UTF-8 is not standardized, so we have no one locale to fall back on and are forced to try a few. The list we have here is quite arbitrary, but it's a start. Python does something similar and only tries C.UTF-8, C.utf8 and "UTF-8". Once C.UTF-8 is (hopefully) standardized, that will just start working (tm). Note that we do not *export* the fixed LC_CTYPE variable, so external programs still have to deal with the C locale, but we have no real business messing with the user's environment. To turn it off: $fish_allow_singlebyte_locale, if set to something true (like "1"), will re-run the locale initialization and skip the bit where we force LC_CTYPE to be utf8-capable. This is mainly used in our tests, but might also be useful if people are trying to do something weird. |
