In commit 9479b6d5e08eacce06c6ab60abc9b2f4eb8b71e4 we updated all of the collation data to harmonize with the new version of ISO 14651 which is derived from Unicode 9.0.0. This collation update brought with it some changes to locales which were not desirable by some users, in particular it altered the meaning of the locale-dependent-range regular expression, namely [a-z] and [A-Z], and for en_US it caused uppercase letters to be matched by [a-z] for the first time. The matching of uppercase letters by [a-z] is something which is already known to users of other locales which have this property, but this change could cause significant problems to en_US and other similar locales that had never had this change before. Whether this behaviour is desirable or not is contentious and GNU Awk has this to say on the topic: https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Ranges-and-Locales.html While the POSIX standard also has this further to say: "RE Bracket Expression": http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/xrat/V4_xbd_chap09.html "The current standard leaves unspecified the behavior of a range expression outside the POSIX locale. ... As noted above, efforts were made to resolve the differences, but no solution has been found that would be specific enough to allow for portable software while not invalidating existing implementations." In glibc we implement the requirement of ISO POSIX-2:1993 and use collation element order (CEO) to construct the range expression, the API internally is __collseq_table_lookup(). The fact that we use CEO and also have 4-level weights on each collation rule means that we can in practice reorder the collation rules in iso14651_t1_common (the new data) to provide consistent range expression resolution *and* the weights should maintain the expected total order. Therefore this patch does three things: * Reorder the collation rules for the LATIN script in iso14651_t1_common to deinterlace uppercase and lowercase letters in the collation element orders. * Adds new test data en_US.UTF-8.in for sort-test.sh which exercises strcoll* and strxfrm* and ensures the ISO 14651 collation remains. * Add back tests to tst-fnmatch.input and tst-regexloc.c which exercise that [a-z] does not match A or Z. The reordering of the ISO 14651 data is done in an entirely mechanical fashion using the following program attached to the bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23393#c28 It is up for discussion if the iso14651_t1_common data should be refined further to have 3 very tight collation element ranges that include only a-z, A-Z, and 0-9, which would implement the solution sought after in: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23393#c12 and implemented here: https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-07/msg00854.html No regressions on x86_64. Verified that removal of the iso14651_t1_common change causes tst-fnmatch to regress with: 422: fnmatch ("[a-z]", "A", 0) = 0 (FAIL, expected FNM_NOMATCH) *** ... 425: fnmatch ("[A-Z]", "z", 0) = 0 (FAIL, expected FNM_NOMATCH) ***
This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu arm-*-linux-gnueabi hppa-*-linux-gnu i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 ia64-*-linux-gnu m68k-*-linux-gnu microblaze*-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu riscv64-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
