Just a heads-up. I don't consider SRFI 19 to have a very good API, and I'm
working on a pre-SRFI for dates and times. There is an outline of it (very
subject to change) at <

Note that it does not do localization except for timezones, however, so is
probably not directly relevant. I'd appreciate review comments at
cowan@HIDDEN anyway. Thanks.

Is a chair finely made tragic or comic? Is the portrait of Mona Lisa
good if I desire to see it? Is the bust of Sir Philip Crampton lyrical,
epical or dramatic? If a man hacking in fury at a block of wood make
there an image of a cow, is that image a work of art? If not, why not?

Which test? In commit ab2fd70ef1e36c6532128b73082809ef3c056556 I modified the test that passes \u0100 to run in a UTF-8 locale, on the grounds that the previous behavior was fragile: =E2=80=9Craw bytes=E2=80=9D= of the input string would be preserved, but they could be mixed with things like month names in the current locale encoding.

Portable in the sense that the information can be obtained on both Posix
and Windows, but not with exactly the same code.
On Posix, you need the nl_langinfo() and nl_langinfo_l() functions from
<langinfo.h>. These functions are documented at <
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/nl_langinfo.html>,
and the constants d at <
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/langinfo.h.html>.
On Windows, you need to call EnumCalendarInfoExEx if you have dropped
support for Vista and earlier versions, or if not, then follow the links
from the page about it. The function is documented at <
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/Winnls/nf-winnls-enumcalendarinfoexex>,
and the constants that specify particular pieces of information at <
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/Intl/calendar-type-information>.
(I have never used these interfaces myself.)
I hope this is helpful.

Is there a portable way to find the relevant locale files and interpret
them, on both POSIX and Windows systems? If so, can you point out the
relevant documentation?
Thanks,

On my system, I found that my proposed patch caused one of the existing
tests to fail. The problem is that if the format string includes
characters that are not representable in the current locale encoding, it
will fail. It seems to me that this could break existing code that
currently works. User code that uses 'strftime' might never encode the
resulting string in the locale encoding.
I was planning to rewrite the code to scan for the '%' escapes
ourselves, to call 'strftime' for each escape sequence (without
including the surrounding text), and to concatenate the results.
> I forgot to change the commit author to you before pushing, apologies!
No worries. Thanks for working on it.
Mark

Thanks! I'm glad to know this. I have adequate fluency in guile now but
very basic C hence some bugs are very opaque to me.

There might also be related problems with 'strptime'. These problems
date back to when Guile was first extended to support non-ASCII strings.
Here's the relevant commit in 2009 that added non-ASCII support to
'strftime' and 'strptime', but did so imperfectly:

Yes. Guile's 'strftime' procedure currently assumes that the underlying
'nstrftime' C function (from Gnulib) will produce output in UTF-8,
although it almost certainly produces output in the locale encoding.
Indeed, the bytevector #vu8(102 233 118 114 105 101 114 32 49 57 55 48)
represents the characters "f=C3=A9vrier 1970" in Windows-1252 encoding.
I'm CC'ing this reply to <bug-guile@HIDDEN>, so that a bug ticket will
be created. In the future, that's the preferred address for sending bug
reports.
Anyway, thanks for letting us know about this. I'll work on it soon.
