https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2240458 Bug ID: 2240458 Summary: Perl 5.38 breaks Irssi locale Product: Fedora Version: 39 Hardware: x86_64 URL: https://github.com/irssi/scripts.irssi.org/issues/857 OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: perl Severity: medium Assignee: jplesnik@xxxxxxxxxx Reporter: mjuszkie@xxxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: iarnell@xxxxxxxxx, jplesnik@xxxxxxxxxx, kasal@xxxxxx, mmaslano@xxxxxxxxxx, mspacek@xxxxxxxxxx, perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx, psabata@xxxxxxxxxx, rhughes@xxxxxxxxxx, spotrh@xxxxxxxxx Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora After upgrade to Fedora 39 beta one of scripts in irssi (irc client) broke. After checking what is going on (I do not know Perl) I found out that length of string was reported with negative sign. Opened a ticket at Irssi github account https://github.com/irssi/scripts.irssi.org/issues/857 and went through debugging a bit. Turned out that Perl 5.38 drops locale settings when embedded in C. There is a bug for it already: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/21366 I do not know which solution should be taken to make it work properly. For irssi script I have hacky workaround. But would be nice to not have such bug on release of new Fedora version. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set locale to any UTF-8 one (I use pl_PL.UTF-8) 2. run irssi 3. run "/script exec print Text::CharWidth::mbswidth("─")" command Actual Results: Should return "1" Expected Results: Returns "-1" irssi-1.4.4-5.fc39.x86_64 perl-5.38.0-500.fc39.x86_64 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2240458 Report this comment as SPAM: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Bugzilla&format=report-spam&short_desc=Report%20of%20Bug%202240458%23c0 _______________________________________________ perl-devel mailing list -- perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to perl-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
