The primary effect of this commit is that it fixes playback resume if
libquvi 0.9 and German locale are used, and libkdecore is on the system.
(See github issue #279.)
libquvi uses libproxy to determine system-wide proxy settings. libproxy
in turn loads libkdecore (if present) to determine KDE proxy settings.
libkdecore has a global constructor, which calls setlocale(LC_ALL, ""),
switching the current locale from "C" to what the user's settings. This
breaks some basic C string processing functions. Note that the locale
won't be set on program start, but only when libproxy calls dlopen() on
its config_kde module, which actually causes libkdecore to be loaded and
initialized.
In particular, with German locale, snprintf() would use "," instead of
"." when formatting float values, which in combination with playback
resume, would lead to parse errors the next time mpv was started, which
is how this issue was found.
I'd consider this a bug with libkdecore or at least libproxy. No library
should ever even touch locale: it might break basic expectations on C
string handling functions, might override program settings, and it's not
thread-safe. But this is so nasty and severe, that a quick hack to fix
it hurts less.
See github issue #279 and KDE bug #325902.
core is used in many unix systems for core dumps. For that reason some tools
work under the assumption that the file is indeed a core dump (for example
autoconf does this).
This commit just renames the files. The following one will change all the
includes to fix compilation. This is done this way because git has a easier
time tracing file changes if there is a pure rename commit.
