#185 closed defect (fixed)

libc: Calling setlocale() from both parent and forked child crashes child

Reported by: Yuri Dario Owned by: bird
Priority: normal Milestone: libc-0.6.4
Component: libc Version: 0.6.2
Severity: normal Keywords: setlocale fork crash uconv

Description

When setlocale( LC_ALL,"") is called in main program and also in the child forked process, the child crashes in UCONV.DLL

Sample testcase

#include <locale.h>

int local( char* who)
{
printf("%s set locale\n", who);
setlocale( LC_ALL, "");
printf("%s set locale done\n", who);
}

int main( void)
{
int pid;
local("parent");
pid = fork();
if (pid==0)
  local("child");
}

gives the following output

[e:\rd\libc\test\setlocale]local.exe
parent set locale
parent set locale done
child set locale

(In [3523]) Corrected wrong return code check when recreating the iconv/locale objects in a forked child. Fixes #185.
