RE: Problem related to the ICU_DATA

[<kam...@as...>]

I made the changes to use u_setDataDirectory instead of using putenv for
ICU_DATA, but, it makes no difference to my problem. It still listing only
the maps build with icudata library not that are added afterwards. Once
again, if I set ICU_DATA explicitly from the shell, it works fine.
 
Thanks,
Kamal

Don't use putenv, use u_setDataDirectory(), before any other ICU functions
are called. The list of mappings is only read once (unless all of ICU is
shut down with u_cleanup()

I am using ICU_DATA for fetching the custom added maps (together with the
ICU's built-in maps) into the list through the APIs ucnv_countAvailable() &
ucnv_getAvailableName(). Things are working fine if ICU_DATA is set
externally (using "export") but, when I tried this with ICU_DATA set from
within the code (using putenv), its not at all recognizing the newly added
maps. I checked through "getenv" that ICU_DATA is properly set and its
working fine if  I tried to find some file at that location. I was able to
update the alias file $ICU_DATA/convrtrs.txt (and then compile it with
"gencnval") for the new maps (these also get compiled with "makeconv"). But,
once I tried to extract this info through ucnv_countAvailable() &
ucnv_getAvailableName(), it reporting only the already existing maps, not
the newly added ones. Next, if I set the ICU_DATA at shell level, its
providing me a complete listing; ICU's built-in + the custom added ones. 


Any hint will be a great help.
