Support for tr_TR.iso88599 using wcstombs

[Yick Kwan]

I have a simple C program:

#include
#include
#include
#include

int main()
{
int nLen = 10;
int i = 0;
wchar_t *wcs = (wchar_t*)malloc(nLen*sizeof(wchar_t)+4);
char *dest;
int rc;
memset(wcs, '\0', nLen*sizeof(wchar_t)+4);
for (i=0; i {
wcs[i] = 0x0031;
}
wcs[1] = 0x0131;

setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
dest = (char*)malloc(nLen*2+1);
memset(dest, '\0', 2*nLen+1);
rc = wcstombs(dest, wcs, 2*nLen);

printf("--> rc: %d.\n", rc);
printf("--> output: %s.\n", dest);
}

When I set the locale in my environment to tr_TR.iso88599, the character \u0131 is not translated. If I used C.utf8, then it succeeds. \u0131 should be a valid code point in iso88599 (I-nodot).

Does anyone know the reason why?
Thank you very much.

The character \u0131 is not the same as 0x0131.
For iso88599, i-nodot is 0xfd. In unicode it is 0x0131 as you have.
