The purpose of these release notes is to make you aware of any special actions required to configure and use INFORMIX-GLS on your computer. This file also describes new features and feature differences from earlier versions of this product and other Informix products, and how these differences affect current products. In addition, this file contains information about known bugs and their workarounds.
This release notes document is not intended to be all-inclusive; it should be used as an addendum to the "INFORMIX-GLS Programmer's Manual," which provides thorough information about product features and behavior.
This release has no new features.
INFORMIX-GLS is an application-programming interface (API) that provides functions and macros for the implementation of internationalized applications that are compatible with Informix GLS internationalization. This API allows applications to access information in Informix locale files.
Previous versions of the INFORMIX-GLS product were called the Informix GLS API. Use of the name GLS API is discontinued in the documentation.
To use INFORMIX-GLS, you must remember to include the header file in any source code that references an INFORMIX-GLS function:
Include the ifxgls.h header file in any source code that references an INFORMIX-GLS function.
The ESQL/C preprocessor automatically includes the INFORMIX-GLS library. For information on how to build ESQL/C applications, refer to the "INFORMIX-ESQL/C Programmer's Guide."
Include the ifxgls.h header file in any source code that references an INFORMIX-GLS function.
You can use the ESQL/C preprocessor to automatically include the INFORMIX-GLS library in your client LIBMI application. Otherwise, you must explicitly list the library at link time.
For information on how to build client LIBMI applications that use INFORMIX-GLS, refer to the "INFORMIX-GLS Programmer's Manual."
Include the ifxgls.h header file in any source code that references an INFORMIX-GLS function.
The INFORMIX-GLS library is already linked into the Informix Dynamic Server with Universal Data Option. Therefore, you do not need to take special link steps to use INFORMIX-GLS in a server routine.
