Subject: [9fans] sort -df vs. μ
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2014 19:16:34 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a1eeecff62602d8040a292007fa2a7d5@ladd.quanstro.net> (raw)
i've been fighting a bit with the manual, and found that μlawdec(1)
was coming in the middle of the ells. it appears that sort -df is
wrong. we should not treat mapto[255] like sign extension.
/n/atom/plan9/sys/src/cmd/sort.c:1292,1298 - sort.c:1292,1298
/*
* for characters out of range,
* the table does not do Rflag.
- * ignore is based on mapto[255]
+ * ignore is computed directly.
*/
if(c != 0 && c < nelem(f->mapto)) {
c = f->mapto[c];
/n/atom/plan9/sys/src/cmd/sort.c:1299,1305 - sort.c:1299,1305
if(c == 0)
continue;
} else {
- if(f->mapto[nelem(f->mapto)-1] == 0)
+ if(f->flags & Iflag)
continue;
/*
* consider building maps as necessary
this seems too obvious, so have i missed anything?
