XView Release Notes

D

This appendix contains information pertinent to the current XView release.

notify.h Header File

The XView public header file notify.h no longer includes the header file <sys/rusage.h>. You might have a compilation problem if your code references <sys/rusage.h> but does not actually include <sys/rusage.h>.

Eight-bit Character Display in Non-internationalized XView Applications

XView applications that are not internationalized (that is, that do not use XV_USE_LOCALE or set it to FALSE in the xv_init() function) will continue to handle 8-bit characters. XView will run these applications under the iso_8859_1 locale instead of the C locale, to maintain compatibility in 8-bit character handling. This change will impact the behavior of locale-sensitive functions such as the function isprint(3V), which now returns TRUE for 8-bit characters.

C Locale Display

The C locale does not support 8-bit characters (that is, G1 set or right-hand side of the ISO 8859-1 character set, such as characters with diareses). Use the en_US locale to display 8-bit characters in the English language environment.
