| Summary | 0000294: Errors in "POSIX locale" statements on strcasecmp() and wcscasecmp() pages | ||||
| Description | The strcasecmp() page contains this statement: When the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale is from the POSIX locale, strcasecmp() and strncasecmp() shall behave as if the strings had been converted to lowercase and then a byte comparison performed. Otherwise, the results are unspecified. The corresponding statement on the wcscasecmp() page is: When the LC_CTIME category of the current locale is from the POSIX locale, these functions shall behave as if the strings had been converted to lowercase and then a byte comparison performed. Otherwise, the results are unspecified. There are several problems here. 1. The statement on the strcasecmp() page should cover all of the functions described on that page. 2. The statement on the wcscasecmp() page should say LC_CTYPE not LC_CTIME. 3. Both should not say "current locale" in connection with the _l() functions. 4. The statement on the wcscasecmp() page says "byte comparison" but should refer to comparison of wide-character codes (or wchar_t values, but the wcscmp() page refers to wide-character codes). | ||||
| Desired Action | On the strcasecmp() page change When the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale is from the POSIX locale, strcasecmp() and strncasecmp() shall to When the LC_CTYPE category of the locale being used is from the POSIX locale, these functions shall On the wcscasecmp() page change When the LC_CTIME category of the current locale is from the POSIX locale, these functions shall behave as if the strings had been converted to lowercase and then a byte comparison performed. Otherwise, the results are unspecified. The information for wcscasecmp_l() and wcsncasecmp_l() about the case of the characters comes from the locale represented by locale. to The wcscasecmp() and wcsncasecmp() functions use the current locale to determine the case of the wide characters. The wcscasecmp_l() and wcsncasecmp_l() functions use the locale represented by locale to determine the case of the wide characters. When the LC_CTYPE category of the locale being used is from the POSIX locale, these functions shall behave as if the wide-character strings had been converted to lowercase and then a comparison of wide-character codes performed. Otherwise, the results are unspecified. | ||||
