Comment(by bonefish):
A few suggestions: I would get rid of `be_catalog` and `be_app_catalog`.
Global variables are evil. Static accessors can be used instead. This also
allows for lazy initialization. The static accessor method for the catalog
of the current shared object would not live in liblocale.so, but in a
static library any shared object that wants to use translations needs to
link against. It would look like:
{{{
static BCatalog sCatalog;
static vint32 sCatalogInitOnce;
/*static*/ BCatalog*
BCatalog::CurrentCatalog()
{
return _CurrentCatalog(&sCatalog, &sCatalogInitOnce);
}
}}}
`_CurrentCatalog()` can live in liblocale.so. Using the given address it
can easily find out for which shared object to load the catalog. For users
preferring explicit initialization a respective method returning an error
code could be added as well.
