Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
epicsStringTest.c currently proves (amongst other things) that
testOk1(epicsStrnCaseCmp(" ", "", 1) < 0);
testOk1(epicsStrnCaseCmp("", " ", 1) > 0);
testOk1(epicsStrnCaseCmp("abcd", "ABCDE", 1000) > 0);
testOk1(epicsStrnCaseCmp("abcde", "ABCD", 1000) < 0);
testOk1(epicsStrCaseCmp("abcd", "ABCDE") != 0);
testOk1(epicsStrCaseCmp("abcde", "ABCD") != 0);
testOk1(epicsStrCaseCmp("abcde", "ABCDF") != 0);
Unfortunately the first group are wrong, and glibc's str[n]casecmp()
functions on RHEL6 agree with me. Longer strings should always compare
greater than any initial subset of themselves. The second group probably
uses != because the author didn't want to think about and fix the bug at
the time...
Any comments?
