Subject: Re: Re: a bug in bindtextdomain() and strip '.UTF-8'
fresh patch :)
1. It's easier that just stopping at dot, and i think this should be
commented in the wiki or somewhere.
2. I read your first part of reply for 20mins, but im not sure; If i
understand right, you mean, let the __locale_map* and strcut binding* be
the id-card for msgcat list instead of the long name string, not only
faster, but also more easy to construct pathname string. But there's some
questions:
+ I removed name from msgcat, i can't find its use there, is it safe?
+ gettextdir() is replaced by a new loop, since i need the pointer of
struct binding not only the dirname, but then, gettextdir() is only called
by bindtextdomain(), is there a need to keep it? Or we have a better way to
get the pointer of struct binding?
+ you said msgcat's indexed by ( struct __locale_map *, struct binding *,
category ), but i found lm(locale_map) is located by category, so if
category is different, then we can't get the same lm, so we can just
compare lm, right?
