Seems like a bogus check to me. Is there a notion of debug vs. release
builds in Visual Studio, and if so, does this happen in release mode
builds?
Sorry about barging in like this, but isn't this just a case of
calling ctype functions/macros with a char argument, where char is
signed by default? It's prohibited by the standard, although glibc is
"nice" enough to allow values in the [-128, 255] range just because
this mistake is so common.
Looking at apr_fnmatch.c, it indeed seems like that is what is going on.
See http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/tolower.html
It doesn't say "fail if the value overflows".
That is not how the C standard works. When a library call is used with
arguments for which its behaviour is not defined, this results in
undefined behaviour.
