Locale support


From: Alexander Jones
Subject: Locale support
Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2023 09:33:12 -0600

According to the README, locale(3) support is listed as an omission. I see
a
setlocale call at main.c:207, but POSIX does specify particular handling of
locale-related environment variables that ed ignores. For reference,
FreeBSD
removed that line from their POSIX file two decades ago with just the
setlocale
call implemented, and the setlocale call has been in main.c since at least
GNU
ed 0.3, so I'm wondering if it's the environment variables that are holding
up a
declaration of POSIX locale compliance, or was this simply a long-missed
oversight?

Thanks,
Alexander
