From 4674809bdf7a46041ac0152eea0a6363ceeca548 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rich Felker Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2014 03:28:00 -0400 Subject: =?UTF-8?q?fix=20case=20mapping=20for=20U+00DF=20(=C3=9F)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit U+00DF ('ß') has had an uppercase form (U+1E9E) available since Unicode 5.1, but Unicode lacks the case mappings for it due to stability policy. when I added support for the new character in commit 1a63a9fc30e7a1f1239e3cedcb5041e5ec1c5351, I omitted the mapping in the lowercase-to-uppercase direction. this choice was not based on any actual information, only assumptions. this commit adds bidirectional case mappings between U+00DF and U+1E9E, and removes the special-case hack that allowed U+00DF to be identified as lowecase despite lacking a mapping. aside from strong evidence that this is the "right" behavior for real-world usage of these characters, several factors informed this decision: - the other "potentially correct" mapping, to "SS", is not representable in the C case-mapping system anyway. - leaving one letter in lowercase form when transforming a string to uppercase is obviously wrong. - having a character which is nominally lowercase but which is fixed under case mapping violates reasonable invariants. --- src/ctype/iswlower.c | 2 +- src/ctype/towctrans.c | 1 - 2 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/ctype/iswlower.c b/src/ctype/iswlower.c index c754fb95..79df44a3 100644 --- a/src/ctype/iswlower.c +++ b/src/ctype/iswlower.c @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ int iswlower(wint_t wc) { - return towupper(wc) != wc || wc == 0xdf; + return towupper(wc) != wc; } int __iswlower_l(wint_t c, locale_t l) diff --git a/src/ctype/towctrans.c b/src/ctype/towctrans.c index 5e0889b1..6af61875 100644 --- a/src/ctype/towctrans.c +++ b/src/ctype/towctrans.c @@ -151,7 +151,6 @@ static const unsigned short pairs[][2] = { { 0x03f7, 0x03f8 }, { 0x03fa, 0x03fb }, { 0x1e60, 0x1e9b }, - { 0xdf, 0xdf }, { 0x1e9e, 0xdf }, { 0x1f59, 0x1f51 }, -- cgit v1.2.1
