/* This file redirects the gettext functions (without prefix or suffix) to
34
those defined in the included GNU gettext library (with "__" suffix).
35
It is compiled into libintl when the included GNU gettext library is
36
configured --with-included-gettext.
38
This redirection works also in the case that the system C library or
39
the system libintl library contain gettext/textdomain/... functions.
40
If it didn't, we would need to add preprocessor level redirections to
41
libgnuintl.h of the following form:
43
# define gettext gettext__
44
# define dgettext dgettext__
45
# define dcgettext dcgettext__
46
# define ngettext ngettext__
47
# define dngettext dngettext__
48
# define dcngettext dcngettext__
49
# define textdomain textdomain__
50
# define bindtextdomain bindtextdomain__
51
# define bind_textdomain_codeset bind_textdomain_codeset__
53
How does this redirection work? There are two cases.
54
A. When libintl.a is linked into an executable, it works because
55
functions defined in the executable always override functions in
57
B. When libintl.so is used, it works because
58
1. those systems defining gettext/textdomain/... in the C library
59
(namely, Solaris 2.4 and newer, and GNU libc 2.0 and newer) are
60
ELF systems and define these symbols as weak, thus explicitly
61
letting other shared libraries override it.
62
2. those systems defining gettext/textdomain/... in a standalone
63
libintl.so library (namely, Solaris 2.3 and newer) have this
64
shared library in /usr/lib, and the linker will search /usr/lib
65
*after* the directory where the GNU gettext library is installed.
67
A third case, namely when libintl.a is linked into a shared library
68
whose name is not libintl.so, is not supported. In this case, on
69
Solaris, when -lintl precedes the linker option for the shared library
70
containing GNU gettext, the system's gettext would indeed override
71
the GNU gettext. Anyone doing this kind of stuff must be clever enough
72
to 1. compile libintl.a with -fPIC, 2. remove -lintl from his linker
