Subject: gettext API question - null pointer issue again
Could you answer a question about the gettext API that's come up again
in the context of musl's implementation? The gettext manual documents
that for the message key argument to these functions:
"If the argument is NULL the result is undefined."
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Interface-to-gettext.html
And it looks like you've treated passing a null argument as a bug in
the past:
https://www.mail-archive.com/bug-gnulib@gnu.org/msg36249.html
It's come up again with GIMP doing it:
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/12042
Should we continue to treat this as an application bug and ask the app
maintainers to fix it when it's found? That's my leaning but I want to
make sure we're still on the same page.
