Hi,

Not sure if I've understood. In the case you pass the "locale" string to setlocale(3):

$ uname -a
DragonFly hammer.df.com 3.6-RELEASE DragonFly v3.6.0-RELEASE #8: Fri Nov 22 13:22:00 PST 2013     root at pkgbox64.dragonflybsd.org:/usr/obj/build/home/justin/src/sys/X86_64_GENERIC  x86_64
$ ./t_locale
setlocale(LC_ALL, "es_ES.UTF-8")=es_ES.UTF-8
setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_EN.UTF-8")=(null)
setlocale(LC_ALL, "fake")=(null)
setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL)=es_ES.UTF-8


$ uname -a
DragonFly hammer.df.com 3.7-DEVELOPMENT DragonFly v3.7.1.1227.g566f1-DEVELOPMENT #1: Thu May 22 19:25:43 CEST 2014     root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/X86_64_GENERIC  x86_64
$ ./t_locale1
setlocale(LC_ALL, "es_ES.UTF-8")=es_ES.UTF-8
setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_EN.UTF-8")=(null)
setlocale(LC_ALL, "fake")=(null)
setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL)=es_ES.UTF-8

root at testfbsd:/root # uname -a
FreeBSD testfbsd 9.1-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p10 #0: Sun Jan 12 20:11:23 UTC 2014     root at amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
root at testfbsd:/root # cc t_locale.c -o t_locale
root at testfbsd:/root # ./t_locale
setlocale(LC_ALL, "es_ES.UTF-8")=es_ES.UTF-8
setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_EN.UTF-8")=(null)
setlocale(LC_ALL, "fake")=(null)
setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL)=es_ES.UTF-8


In the case of using "" as locale:

DFly:
$ ./t_locale1
setlocale(LC_ALL, "")=(null)
$ echo $LC_ALL
fake

FreBSD 9.1:
root at testfbsd:/root # ./t_locale
setlocale(LC_ALL, "")=(null)
root at testfbsd:/root # echo $LC_ALL
fake

I hope I'm not misunderstanding what you just said.

Best regards,
Antonio Huete


----------------------------------------
Bug #2415: setlocale() for unknown locales
http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2415#change-12016

* Author: meand
* Status: New
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: tuxillo
* Category: Userland
* Target version: 3.9.x
----------------------------------------
The return value of setlocale() for LC_ALL deviates from implementations
found in FreeBSD, NetBSD, GNU libc and OpenSolaris. Other implementations
return NULL for unknown locales and the category LC_ALL, where instead
DragonflyBSD isresponding with the internal value list.

Thus an environment variable LC_ALL=fake produces

    ### setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
    C/C/fake/fake/fake/C

    ### setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
    (null)

The LC_ALL category is hiding the erroneous effect from the
invoking program, whereas the other categories are correctly
reporting their failures.
