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@redhat.com Reporter: mjuszkie@redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: iarnell@gmail.com, jplesnik@redhat.com, kasal@ucw.cz, mmaslano@redhat.com, mspacek@redhat.com, perl-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org, ppisar@redhat.com, psabata@redhat.com, rhughes@redhat.com, spotrh@gmail.com 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

--- Comment #1 from Jitka Plesnikova jplesnik@redhat.com --- Thank you for report.
The bug is fixed in perl development version and it is requested to be included in perl-5.38.1.
There was lots of changes in 'locale.c'. I will check how to backported it to Perl 5.38.

--- Comment #2 from Marcin Juszkiewicz mjuszkie@redhat.com --- Fedora 39 is not released yet, why not bump to 5.38.1 instead of backporting?

--- Comment #4 from Jitka Plesnikova jplesnik@redhat.com --- It seems that reverting patch mention in comment [1] should be used as workaround. I tried it and irssi which I rebuilt with this perl worked as expected.
