Hi, while doing some time formatting related testing, I noticed that using strftime ("%X", ...) yields the same formatted time string for e.g. both 6am and 6pm in most Arabian locales (I noticed it with Arabian/Egypt, ar_EG), namely 'EET 06:00:00 ', which corresponds to t_fmt being '%Z %I:%M:%S ' (see "LANG=... locale -k LC_TIME" or the source file localedata/locales/ar_EG and note the trailing blank). The only exception I found is Arabian/Saudi Arabia (ar_SA) where 6am and 6pm are formatted as " 6:00:00" and "18:00:00" respectively, i.e. 24 hours, single digit hours led by blanks instead of zeros (-> "%k:%M:%S"). I've found this with a glibc-2.10.1 runtime on Fedora 11 as well as in current git code, but the current settings seem to have been made in 2000 (according to git blame). I don't speak Arabian, nor am I too familiar with Arabian culture, but I had a pretty strong hunch that the people speaking Arabian would want to see a difference between AM and PM times when formatted. That t_fmt for these locales in glibc has a trailing blank (suggesting a copy and paste error) and that according to comments in the files all locales I think are faulty have been contributed by Kentaroh Noji <knoji@jp.ibm.com> and/or Tetsuji Orita <orita@jp.ibm.com> (whom I simply presume not to be native Arabian speakers) just adds to that hunch. I've looked up a bunch of Arabian locales in the Common Locale Data Repository[1][2] and found that all Arabian POSIX locales they carry have t_fmt as "%I:%M:%S %p" (12 hours, with localized AM/PM string). I'm not sure about ar_SA (where glibc uses 24 hours for time formats while CLDR uses 12 hours), but IMO at least the other locales should be changed accordingly.

Hi, it's been nearly five years since I reported this issue. Something missing? For what it's worth, here's the output of my test program (which I'll attach to this bug) for Egyptian, Saudi Arabian, US and German locales: nils@gibraltar:~/test> LC_ALL=ar_EG.UTF-8 ./strftime locale: 'ar_EG.UTF-8' probe 0: 0 0 6 1 0 100 6 0 0 mktime: 946702800 local time: 'CET 06:00:00 ' probe 1: 0 0 18 1 0 100 6 0 0 mktime: 946746000 local time: 'CET 06:00:00 ' nils@gibraltar:~/test> LC_ALL=ar_SA.UTF-8 ./strftime locale: 'ar_SA.UTF-8' probe 0: 0 0 6 1 0 100 6 0 0 mktime: 946702800 local time: ' 6:00:00' probe 1: 0 0 18 1 0 100 6 0 0 mktime: 946746000 local time: '18:00:00' nils@gibraltar:~/test> LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 ./strftime locale: 'en_US.UTF-8' probe 0: 0 0 6 1 0 100 6 0 0 mktime: 946702800 local time: '06:00:00 AM' probe 1: 0 0 18 1 0 100 6 0 0 mktime: 946746000 local time: '06:00:00 PM' nils@gibraltar:~/test> LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 ./strftime locale: 'de_DE.UTF-8' probe 0: 0 0 6 1 0 100 6 0 0 mktime: 946702800 local time: '06:00:00' probe 1: 0 0 18 1 0 100 6 0 0 mktime: 946746000 local time: '18:00:00'

Thank you Nils for reporting this bug and I'm sorry that you had to wait for so long. The problem is not limited to Arabian locales therefore I change the summary of this bug report. I neither know Arabic locales but obviously using 12h time specification without indicating AM/PM is faulty. Here is a (hopefully) complete list of locales which use %l or %I in t_fmt but do not use %P nor %p: aa_DJ aa_ER aa_ER@saaho aa_ET am_ET anp_IN ar_AE ar_BH ar_DZ ar_EG ar_IN ar_IQ ar_JO ar_KW ar_LB ar_LY ar_MA ar_OM ar_QA ar_SD ar_SS ar_SY ar_TN ar_YE bhb_IN bho_IN bho_NP bi_VU bn_BD bn_IN brx_IN byn_ER doi_IN en_HK en_IN en_PH gez_ER gez_ER@abegede gez_ET gez_ET@abegede gu_IN hif_FJ hi_IN hne_IN kn_IN kok_IN ks_IN ks_IN@devanagari mag_IN mai_IN mai_NP mjw_IN ml_IN mni_IN mr_IN ms_MY mt_MT om_ET om_KE pa_IN raj_IN sa_IN sat_IN sd_IN sd_IN@devanagari sid_ET so_DJ so_ET so_KE so_SO sq_AL sq_MK ta_IN ta_LK tcy_IN the_NP ti_ER ti_ET tig_ER to_TO ur_IN wal_ET zh_HK Only one locale (hif_FJ) uses %I in d_t_fmt but does not use %P nor %p. These locales use %I or %l in t_fmt_ampm but do not use %P or %p: bg_BG, cs_CZ, sk_SK. Other locale data seem to be correct.

It has been discovered that some locales use the 12-hour time formats but do not use any AM/PM indicator thus making the time ambiguous. This commit adds "%p" wherever it was missing. In some cases it has been identified that a locale should use 24-hour time format rather than 12-hour. All time formats come from CLDR but this commit introduces as few changes as possible (for example, it tries not to change the time zone display). For the locales which are not supported by CLDR the consistency with similar locales (which means the same language or the same country) has been preserved: if the time formats were the same before the change then they are still the same after the change. The time format updates can be roughly summarized as follows: * Most of the locales of Djibouti, Eritrea, and Ethiopia now use "%l:%M:%S %p". * Most of the locales of India and some surrounding countries (Bangladesh, Nepal etc.) now use "%I:%M:%S %p %Z". * Most of the Arabic locales now use "%Z %I:%M:%S %p". * Ge'ez language (Eritrea and Ethiopia) now uses "%l:%M:%S፡%p" (note the consistent use of Ethiopic wordspace character). * Tamil (India) now uses "%p %I:%M:%S %Z". * Chinese (Hong Kong) t_fmt now uses "%p %I<U6642>%M<U5206>%S<U79D2> %Z". * Additionally, the following locales have been switched from 12-hour time formats to 24-hour, according to CLDR: Arabic (Morocco), Maltese, Somali (Kenya), and Tamil (Sri Lanka). * Finally, the Bulgarian, Czech, and Slovak locales used 24-hour time format correctly but their t_fmt_ampm field was not empty containing 12-hour time format which was incorrect so it is now replaced with an empty string.

This is an automated email from the git hooks/post-receive script. It was generated because a ref change was pushed to the repository containing the project "GNU C Library master sources". The annotated tag, glibc-2.29 has been created at e7c9e41bb2407b0150997b382b49a5f3bb579bf9 (tag) tagging 56c86f5dd516284558e106d04b92875d5b623b7a (commit) replaces glibc-2.28.9000 tagged by Siddhesh Poyarekar on Thu Jan 31 22:24:07 2019 +0530 - Log ----------------------------------------------------------------- The GNU C Library ================= The GNU C Library version 2.29 is now available. The GNU C Library is used as *the* C library in the GNU system and in GNU/Linux systems, as well as many other systems that use Linux as the kernel. The GNU C Library is primarily designed to be a portable and high performance C library. It follows all relevant standards including ISO C11 and POSIX.1-2008. It is also internationalized and has one of the most complete internationalization interfaces known. The GNU C Library webpage is at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ Packages for the 2.29 release may be downloaded from: http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libc/ http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libc/ The mirror list is at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html NEWS for version 2.29 ==================== * The getcpu wrapper function has been added, which returns the currently used CPU and NUMA node. This function is Linux-specific. * A new convenience target has been added for distribution maintainers to build and install all locales as directories with files. The new target is run by issuing the following command in your build tree: 'make localedata/install-locale-files', with an optional DESTDIR to set the install root if you wish to install into a non-default configured location. * Optimized generic exp, exp2, log, log2, pow, sinf, cosf, sincosf and tanf. * The reallocarray function is now declared under _DEFAULT_SOURCE, not just for _GNU_SOURCE, to match BSD environments. * For powercp64le ABI, Transactional Lock Elision is now enabled iff kernel indicates that it will abort the transaction prior to entering the kernel (PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC on hwcap2). On older kernels the transaction is suspended, and this caused some undefined side-effects issues by aborting transactions manually. Glibc avoided it by abort transactions manually on each syscall, but it lead to performance issues on newer kernels where the HTM state is saved and restore lazily (the state being saved even when the process actually does not use HTM). * The functions posix_spawn_file_actions_addchdir_np and posix_spawn_file_actions_addfchdir_np have been added, enabling posix_spawn and posix_spawnp to run the new process in a different directory. These functions are GNU extensions. The function posix_spawn_file_actions_addchdir_np is similar to the Solaris function of the same name. * The popen and system do not run atfork handlers anymore (BZ#17490). Although it is a possible POSIX violation, the POSIX rationale in pthread_atfork documentation regarding atfork handlers is to handle inconsistent mutex state after a fork call in a multi-threaded process. In both popen and system there is no direct access to user-defined mutexes. * Support for the C-SKY ABIV2 running on Linux has been added. This port requires at least binutils-2.32, gcc-9.0, and linux-4.20. Two ABIs are supported: - C-SKY ABIV2 soft-float little-endian - C-SKY ABIV2 hard-float little-endian * strftime's default formatting of a locale's alternative year (%Ey) has been changed to zero-pad the year to a minimum of two digits, like "%y". This improves the display of Japanese era years during the first nine years of a new era, and is expected to be harmless for all other locales (only Japanese locales regularly have alternative year numbers less than 10). Zero-padding can be overridden with the '_' or '-' flags (which are GNU extensions). * As a GNU extension, the '_' and '-' flags can now be applied to "%EY" to control how the year number is formatted; they have the same effect that they would on "%Ey". Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility: * The glibc.tune tunable namespace has been renamed to glibc.cpu and the tunable glibc.tune.cpu has been renamed to glibc.cpu.name. * The type of the pr_uid and pr_gid members of struct elf_prpsinfo, defined in <sys/procfs.h>, has been corrected to match the type actually used by the Linux kernel. This affects the size and layout of that structure on MicroBlaze, MIPS (n64 ABI only), Nios II and RISC-V. * For the MIPS n32 ABI, the type of the pr_sigpend and pr_sighold members of struct elf_prstatus, and the pr_flag member of struct elf_prpsinfo, defined in <sys/procfs.h>, has been corrected to match the type actually used by the Linux kernel. This affects the size and layout of those structures. * An archaic GNU extension to scanf, under which '%as', '%aS', and '%a[...]' meant to scan a string and allocate space for it with malloc, is now restricted to programs compiled in C89 or C++98 mode with _GNU_SOURCE defined. This extension conflicts with C99's use of '%a' to scan a hexadecimal floating-point number, which is now available to programs compiled as C99 or C++11 or higher, regardless of _GNU_SOURCE. POSIX.1-2008 includes the feature of allocating a buffer for string input with malloc, using the modifier letter 'm' instead. Programs using '%as', '%aS', or '%a[...]' with the old GNU meaning should change to '%ms', '%mS', or '%m[...]' respectively. Programs that wish to use the C99 '%a' no longer need to avoid _GNU_SOURCE. GCC's -Wformat warnings can detect most uses of this extension, as long as all functions that call vscanf, vfscanf, or vsscanf are annotated with __attribute__ ((format (scanf, ...))). Changes to build and runtime requirements: * Python 3.4 or later is required to build the GNU C Library. * On most architectures, GCC 5 or later is required to build the GNU C Library. (On powerpc64le, GCC 6.2 or later is still required, as before.) Older GCC versions and non-GNU compilers are still supported when compiling programs that use the GNU C Library. Security related changes: CVE-2018-19591: A file descriptor leak in if_nametoindex can lead to a denial of service due to resource exhaustion when processing getaddrinfo calls with crafted host names. Reported by Guido Vranken. CVE-2019-6488: On x32, the size_t parameter may be passed in the lower 32 bits of a 64-bit register with with non-zero upper 32 bit. When it happened, accessing the 32-bit size_t value as the full 64-bit register in the assembly string/memory functions would cause a buffer overflow. Reported by H.J. Lu. CVE-2016-10739: The getaddrinfo function could successfully parse IPv4 addresses with arbitrary trailing characters, potentially leading to data or command injection issues in applications.
