Bug ID: 101234
Summary: Two tests require en_US.ISO-8859-15 but glibc no
longer installs that by default.
Product: gcc
Version: 11.1.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libstdc++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: zarniwhoop at ntlworld dot com
Target Milestone: ---
In 22_locale/codecvt/out/wchar_t/3.cc and 22_locale/codecvt/in/wchar_t/3.cc the
tests are only run if dejagnu finds the en_US.ISO-8859-15 locale. I assume that
glibc used to install that when installing all locales (e.g.
[https://centos.pkgs.org/8-stream/centos-baseos-x86_64/glibc-langpack-en-2.28-155.el8.x86_64.rpm.html]
implies that), but recent glibc does not automatically install it.
My earliest available old system is using glibc-2.30 and there that locale was
not installed when I installed all locales.
Manually installing it on a current system with glibc-2.33, the number of
expected passes increased by 4 so the tests do still work, it is just that most
builders will not run them.
If I'm reading the tests correctly, they convert the whole character-set.
Perhaps they could be converted to use one of the @euro locales which are still
installed automatically by glibc ? I see that at least de_DE@euro and
es_ES@euro are in that category and alreadty used by other tests.
