Thanks.
I've been going for lots of little commits to help bisect.
Thanks!
Poking around etc/gen-ctype-checked.c and the related code, I've found
configure's --enable-assert and turned that on.
Odd that configure --help shows --disable-assert, though that's the
default.
There's --enable-debug too, but that does nothing at the moment?
Yes, that looks like a relic that can be removed.
Back to ctype.h, can we now assume POSIX, the functions may have macros
too that may not evaluate arguments more than once; existing code
already assumes that. And tolower(3), for example, returns its argument
unless isalpha() and isupper(), so that doesn't all need checking first
to avoid calling it.
Fine with me.
Can the existing buildbots do varying configurations? Or perhaps just
the nippy Ubuntu one? --enable-assert={yes,no} would be one thing. And
CFLAGS -f{,un}signed-char another? Or is one of the three platforms
already known to be signed?
I don't think any of the current buildbot hosts use signed char. Maybe
Solaris did? In any case, it's off-line now.
Based on an old commit comment, the arm7 host uses unsigned-char.
I always build with --enable-assert.
