Re: [PATCH 00/15] Add libunistring-optional module

2010-05-24 Thread Bruno Haible
Hi all, Since that change, that introduced the m4/libunistring-base.m4 file, users of libunistring modules from gnulib *must* use the automake option 'subdir-objects'. The automake documentation makes it sound like the use of the Automake option subdir-objects is merely a matter of style and prefe

unistr/u8-strcoll: make result more predictable

2010-05-24 Thread Bruno Haible
On NetBSD 5.0, the u8-strcoll test failed, because it used iconv with transliteration, and the results depend too much on the iconv implementation being used: "•" maps to "o" with glibc or libiconv, but to "?" with NetBSD iconv. The fix is to rely only on strict (lossless) iconv conversion. 2010-

regex and alloca

2010-05-24 Thread Bruno Haible
What are the requirements of the 'regex' module on platforms that don't have alloca()? All uses of alloca are inside regexec.c and are guarded by a call to if (__libc_use_alloca (n)), which expands to if (0). This means: 1) The library does not really need to provide an alloca function. 2) Bu
