Johannes Schindelin cc5e1bf992 gettext: avoid initialization if the locale dir is not present
The runtime of a simple `git.exe version` call on Windows is currently
dominated by the gettext setup, adding a whopping ~150ms to the ~210ms
total.

Given that this cost is added to each and every git.exe invocation goes
through common-main's invocation of git_setup_gettext(), and given that
scripts have to call git.exe dozens, if not hundreds, of times, this is
a substantial performance penalty.

This is particularly pointless when considering that Git for Windows
ships without localization (to keep the installer's size to a bearable
~34MB): all that time setting up gettext is for naught.

To be clear, Git for Windows *needs* to be compiled with localization,
for the following reasons:

- to allow users to copy add-on localization in case they want it, and

- to fix the nasty error message

	BUG: your vsnprintf is broken (returned -1)

  by using libgettext's override of vsnprintf() that does not share the
  behavior of msvcrt.dll's version of vsnprintf().

So let's be smart about it and skip setting up gettext if the locale
directory is not even present.

Since localization might be missing for not-yet-supported locales, this
will not break anything.

This trick arranges for messages to be emitted in the user's
requested encoding, but avoids setting LC_CTYPE from the
environment for the whole program.
This primarily done to avoid a bug in vsnprintf in the GNU C
Library [1]. which triggered a "your vsnprintf is broken" error
on Git's own repository when inspecting v0.99.6~1 under a UTF-8
locale.
That commit contains a ISO-8859-1 encoded author name, which
the locale aware vsnprintf(3) won't interpolate in the format
argument, due to mismatch between the data encoding and the
locale.
Even if it wasn't for that bug we wouldn't want to use LC_CTYPE at
this point, because it'd require auditing all the code that uses C
functions whose semantics are modified by LC_CTYPE.
But only setting LC_MESSAGES as we do creates a problem, since
we declare the encoding of our PO files[2] the gettext
implementation will try to recode it to the user's locale, but
without LC_CTYPE it'll emit something like this on 'git init'
under the Icelandic locale:
Bj? til t?ma Git lind ? /hlagh/.git/
Gettext knows about the encoding of our PO file, but we haven't
told it about the user's encoding, so all the non-US-ASCII
characters get encoded to question marks.
But we're in luck! We can set LC_CTYPE from the environment
only while we call nl_langinfo and
bind_textdomain_codeset. That suffices to tell gettext what
encoding it should emit in, so it'll now say:
Bjó til tóma Git lind í /hlagh/.git/
And the equivalent ISO-8859-1 string will be emitted under a
ISO-8859-1 locale.
With this change way we get the advantages of setting LC_CTYPE
(talk to the user in his language/encoding), without the major
drawbacks (changed semantics for C functions we rely on).
However foreign functions using other message catalogs that
aren't using our neat trick will still have a problem, e.g. if
we have to call perror(3):
#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>
#include <errno.h>
int main(void)
{
setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, "");
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "C");
errno = ENODEV;
perror("test");
return 0;
}
Running that will give you a message with question marks:
$ LANGUAGE= LANG=de_DE.utf8 ./test
test: Kein passendes Ger?t gefunden
The vsnprintf bug has been fixed since glibc 2.17.
Then we could simply set LC_CTYPE from the environment, which would
make things like the external perror(3) messages work.
See t/t0203-gettext-setlocale-sanity.sh's "gettext.c" tests for
regression tests.
