Hi,

This patch fixes an issue in the ctype<wchar_t> implementation when the
newlib C library is used.

The generic version of ctype<wchar_t>::_M_convert_to_wmask() in
config/locale/generic/ctype_members.cc assumes that a character type
mask is either a bitmask with only 1 bit set or a bitwise-OR result of
other character type masks; for instance, as illustrated in the C++
Standard 2003 TC1 [lib.category.ctype]:

  enum mask { // numeric values are for exposition only.
    space=1<<0, print=1<<1, cntrl=1<<2, upper=1<<3, lower=1<<4,
    alpha=1<<5, digit=1<<6, punct=1<<7, xdigit=1<<8,
    alnum=alpha|digit, graph=alnum|punct
  };

The newlibc has a more compact character type mask definition; it uses
one byte only to represent the masks:

(newlib/libc/include/ctype.h)
    #define _U 01
    #define _L 02
    #define _N 04
    #define _S 010
    #define _P 020
    #define _C 040
    #define _X 0100
    #define _B 0200

(libstdc++-v3/config/os/newlib/ctype_base.h)
    typedef char mask;
    static const mask upper = _U;
    static const mask lower = _L;
    static const mask alpha = _U | _L;
    static const mask digit = _N;
    static const mask xdigit = _X | _N;
    static const mask space = _S;
    static const mask print = _P | _U | _L | _N | _B;
    static const mask graph = _P | _U | _L | _N;
    static const mask cntrl = _C;
    static const mask punct = _P;
    static const mask alnum = _U | _L | _N;

For _X and _B, the generic version of
ctype<wchar_t>::_M_convert_to_wmask() fails to obtain their
corresponding wmasks, while other ctype_members.cc variants at
config/locale/{gnu,darwin}/ are not capable in handling this case either.

Therefore, in this patch, a newlib specific ctype_members.cc is added
at config/locale/newlib/, and acinclude.m4 is modified to use the new
ctype_members.cc when with_newlib is enabled. The main difference in this
ctype_members.cc from the generic version is the addition of the special
handling of xdigit and print at the end of
ctype<wchar_t>::_M_convert_to_wmask().

With this patch the following test failure (when the C library is the
newlib C) will be fixed:
    libstdc++-v3/testsuite/22_locale/ctype/scan/wchar_t/1.cc.

The patch has passed the regression test with armv7-a arm-eabi on qemu.

Is it OK for trunk?

Thanks,
Yufeng

Hi,

personally, I have only minor comments, like only 2011 as Copyright year 
for new files, and please also regtest on a gnu-linux system.

Before going ahead, however, you should send the patch also to the 
libstdc++ mailing list (this is the rule for v3 patches) and make sure 
the other maintainers don't have further comments. Wait, say, at least a 
couple of days.

Thanks,
Paolo.

PS: no regenerated files in the diffs.

Hi Paolo,

Thank you for the review.

I've updated the Copyright year and removed the regenerated file from
the patch. The updated patch is attached.

I've also run the regtest on x86_64-linux-gnu.

Sorry for missing the rule previously. I sent the patch to the libstdc++
mailing list yesterday; see
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2011-06/msg00091.html
I've also added the mailing list to the CC list. I'll wait a few days
to see if there is any more comment.

Thanks,
Yufeng

There is no more comment received. I wonder if it is OK to get the patch
committed. I have write after approval to GCC, but I'm not sure if that
applies to libstdc++-v3 or not. If you think the patch is OK, can you
please help me commit it? If you think I can/shall commit it by myself,
please let me know.


Thanks,
Yufeng

P.S. I have re-verified the patch on the tip of the trunk today.
