This invalid translation spec aborted:
LC_ALL=en_US.iso-8859-1 tr '[:upper:] ' '[:lower:]'
This was caused by commit 6efd1046, 05-01-2008,
"Avoid tr case-conversion failure in some locales"
This misaligned conversion spec was allowed:
LC_ALL=C tr 'A-Y[:lower:]' 'a-z[:upper:]'
This was caused by commit af5d0c36, 21-10-2007,
"tr: do not reject an unmatched [:lower:] or [:upper:] in SET1"
This misaligned spec was allowed by extending the class:
LC_ALL=C tr '[:upper:] ' '[:lower:]'
* src/tr.c (validate_case_classes): A new function to check
alignment of case conversion classes. Also it adjusts the
length of the sets so that locales with different numbers of
upper and lower case characters, don't cause issues.
(string2_extend): Disallow extending the case conversion
class as in the above example. That is locale dependent
and most likely not what the user wants.
(validate): Do the simple test for "restricted" char classes
earlier, so we don't redundantly do more expensive validation.
(main): Remove the case class validation, and simplify.
* tests/misc/tr-case-class: A new test to test the various
alignment and locale issues, associated with case conversion.
* tests/misc/tr: Move case conversion tests to new tr-case-class.
* tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the fixes.
* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Save and restore TMPDIR around
envvar-check, so that the few scripts that require $TMPDIR don't fail.
This is also good to let a user's default TMPDIR setting be used e.g.,
in the search for an 'other-partition'.
FIXME: this is pretty ugly. maybe undo it and find a better way.
(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Invoke perl scripts with $(PERL), and use -T
if the script requires that. Otherwise, use $(SHELL).
* tests/misc/md5sum-newline: Create a file whose name contains
a newline in Perl (resort to using "system", since open refuses).
Fix old brokenness exposed by this change:
* tests/du/files0-from: Correct test not to rely on stdin
being attached to a non-tty.
* tests/misc/sort (3g, 3h, 3i): Likewise: add explicit empty input file.
Avoid warnings about using qw()-around-commas.
* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Now that this test is run from a temporary
subdirectory, adjust the full name of the "rm" program we're going
to run.
Change #!/bin/sh to #!/usr/bin/perl, and factor out the few lines
of boilerplate code to invoke perl. Do not "require 5.00x";
a configure-time Perl test handles that
