gcj bug with locale (was: gcj with date manip. ...)

[Maurice DIAMANTINI]

So because I had a problem with gcj-2.97, I've finaly been
able to build a version of gcc-3.0 both on linuppc
(with  --enable-languages=c++,java) and and linux intel
(with  --enable-languages=c++,java,f77)


But the same error occured when using Date.toString() method.


This result occured on linux distribution (both intel anf
linuxppc) with the following locale in my .cshrc: 

    setenv  LC_ALL   fr_FR

but all work fine if all replace this with:

    setenv  LC_ALL   en_US.iso-8859-1

But now, all my application menu are in english
(and as you can see, I'm not very clever in english :-)

I think this is a bug from gcc which should use default
locale such as "en_US.iso-8859-1" in replacement of
"fr_FR.iso-8859-1"  instead of rising an exception.

But now, I can keep on working with gcj instead of javac...
Thank you very much!

If you are yet interested by this problem, here
is the full trace af it :


--------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the program (about the same than previous):

import java.util.*;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class Test  {    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // this work
        Date date = new Date();
        System.out.println ("getTime=" + date.getTime());
        // this doesn't work
        System.out.println ("date=" + date.toString());
        // this doesn't work neither !!
        SimpleDateFormat df = 
              new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSS");
        System.out.println ("Début à : " + df.format(date) );
        return;
    }
}

------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the jdk result:

>javac Test.java && java Test

    getTime=984043770064
    date=Thu Mar 08 10:29:30 CET 2001
    Début à : 2001-03-08 10:29:30.0064
    
------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the gcj result:

>gcj -O0 -g   --main=Test -o test Test.java
(nota: make .class first, the making test rise the same error)



I replace "/usr/local/pack/gcc-3.0-cvs-20010306/powerpc-linux/" 
by "//" for readability

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then Here the result from gdb


----------------------------
A - If dynamicaly compiled :

(gdb) run
Starting program: /home/diam/projets/jorlab/benchs_java/testbug/test 
/home/diam/projets/jorlab/benchs_java/testbug/test: error in loading shared libraries: libgcc_s.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Program exited with code 0177.

But the LB_LIBRARY_PATH is well set!!!



----------------------------
B - So I compiled with -static 
    (and setenv CLASSPATH  .../share/libgcj.jar)
