If the length of the source wide character string, passed in via the
"size_t n" parameter, is set to zero, the function should only return
the required length for the destination wide character string. In this
case, it should *not* attempt to write to the destination, so the "dst"
parameter is permitted to be NULL.
However, when the internally called _collate_wxfrm() function returns an
error, such as when using the "C" locale, as a fallback wcscpy(3) or
wcsncpy(3) are used. But if the input length is zero, wcsncpy(3) will
be called with a length of -1! If the "dst" parameter is NULL, this
will immediately result in a segfault, or if "dst" is a valid pointer,
it will most likely result in unexpectedly overwritten memory.
Fix this by explicitly checking for an input length greater than zero,
before calling wcsncpy(3).
Note that a similar situation does not occur in strxfrm(3), the plain
character version of this function, as it uses strlcpy(3) for the error
case. The strlcpy(3) function does not write to the destination if the
input length is zero.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
packed LC_COLLATE binary formats. These were generated with the colldef
tool, but the new LC_COLLATE files are going to be generated by the new
localedef tool using CLDR POSIX files as input. The BSD-flavored
version of localedef identifies the format as "BSD 1.0". Any
LC_COLLATE file with a different version will simply not be loaded, and
all LC* categories will get set to "C" (aka "POSIX") locale.
This work is based off of Nexenta's contribution to Illumos.
The integration with xlocale is John Marino's work for Dragonfly.
The following commits will enable localedef tool, disable the colldef
tool, add generated colldef directory, and finally remove colldef from
base.
The only difference with Dragonfly are:
- a few fixes to build with clang
- And identification of the flavor as "BSD 1.0" instead of "Dragonfly 4.4"

load of _l suffixed versions of various standard library functions that use
the global locale, making them take an explicit locale parameter. Also
adds support for per-thread locales. This work was funded by the FreeBSD
Foundation.
Please test any code you have that uses the C standard locale functions!
