Re: Piotr Caban : kernel32: Restore C locale for LC_CTYPE category.

[Piotr Caban]

Hi,

I've looked for the solution of this problem and I failed to find one 
that works with C locale. It looks like XIM is not working when it's 
initialized in C or POSIX locale even if wchar_t or utf8 variant of 
lookup functions is used (XwcLookupString, Xutf8LookupString).

There are XIM bindings for XCB. Hopefully we will be able to use it in 
future. I'm not sure what is its status but it doesn't seem  to be 
widely available.

I see 2 possible solutions for that:
  - go with the ascii_{tolower,toupper,strcasecmp,strncasecmp} helpers 
and use them instead of glibc functions
  - try to detect locales that we don't support properly and set a 
different one in this case, I'm thinking about something like this:
if (strcasecmp("abc...z", "ABC...Z"))
     setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "en_US.UTF-8");
It will not work if en_US.UTF-8 locale is not available.

I prefer the first solution (it will work even if e.g. there's a library 
that changes locale). A simple grep shows that there are around 300 uses 
of tolower/toupper/strcasecmp/strncasecmp functions in wine (probably 
all will need to be changed).

Thanks,
Piotr
