[opensuse-factory] bug in libc i18n
Hi, I just discovered a problem in ubuntu that most likely is in suse as well: POSIX requires for char -> wchar_t translations: In the POSIX locale an [EILSEQ] error cannot occur since all byte values are valid characters. but e.g. mbstowcs() aborts in the "C" locale when a non 7-bit ASCII character is discovered in the source string.

please file bugs in bugzilla, where the right people can be assigned. Much more suitable than discussion / mailing lists. If you have a clear reproducer, that's helpful as well. cheers Dominique

If it affects multiple distributions, the best place for filing this bug report is actually upstream.

OK, the bug is known: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19932 But as usual with GNU userland code :-( there does not seem to be any interest to fix the problem.

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org for openSUSE specific bugs or glibc upstream https://sourceware.org/bugzilla where all distros will benefit in time Cheers Dominique
