Macros
Old character classification macros
What is this ISPRINT business? Well, according to our VCS and some internet surfing, it appears that the initial intent of these macros were to mimic codes appear in common in several GNU projects. As far as @shyouhei detects they seem to originate GNU regex (that standalone one rather than Gnulib or Glibc), and at least date back to 1995. Let me lawfully quote from a GNU coreutils commit https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=49803907f5dbd7646184a8912c9db9b09dcd0f22 Jim Meyering writes: "... Some ctype macros are valid only for character codes that isascii says are ASCII (SGI's IRIX-4.0.5 is one such system –when using /bin/cc or gcc but without giving an ansi option). So, all ctype uses should be through macros like ISPRINT... If STDC_HEADERS is defined, then autoconf has verified that the ctype macros don't need to be guarded with references to isascii. ... Defining isascii to 1 should let any compiler worth its salt eliminate the && through constant folding." Bruno Haible adds: "... Furthermore, isupper(c) etc. have an undefined result if c is outside the range -1 <= c <= 255. One is tempted to write isupper(c) with c being of type ‘char’, but this is wrong if c is an 8-bit character >= 128 which gets sign-extended to a negative value. The macro ISUPPER protects against this as well." So the intent was to reroute old problematic systems that no longer exist. At the same time the problems described above no longer hurt us, because we decided to completely avoid using system-provided isupper etc. to reinvent the wheel. These macros are entirely legacy; please ignore them. But let me also put stress that GNU people are wise; they use those macros only inside of their own implementations and never let them be public. On the other hand ruby has thoughtlessly publicised them to 3rd party libraries since its beginning, which is a very bad idea. These macros are too easy to get conflicted with definitions elsewhere. New programs should stick to the `rb_` prefixed names. Note It seems we just mimic the API. We do not share their implementation with GPL-ed programs.

◆ ruby_strtoul()

unsigned long ruby_strtoul	(	const char *	str,
		char **	endptr,
		int	base
	)

Our own locale-insensitive version of strtoul(3).

The conversion is done as if the current locale is set to the "C" locale, no matter actual runtime locale settings.

Note: This is needed because strtoul("i", 0, 36) would return zero if it is locale sensitive and the current locale is tr_TR.

Parameters

[in]	str	String of digits, optionally preceded with whitespaces (ignored) and optionally `+` or `-` sign.
[out]	endptr	NULL, or an arbitrary pointer (overwritten on return).
[in]	base	`2` to `36` inclusive for each base, or special case `0` to detect the base from the contents of the string.

Returns: Converted integer, casted to unsigned long.

Postcondition: If endptr is not NULL, it is updated to point the first such byte where conversion failed.

Note

This function sets errno on failure.

EINVAL: Passed base is out of range.
ERANGE: Converted integer is out of range of long.

Warning: As far as @shyouhei reads ISO/IEC 9899:2018 section 7.22.1.4, a conforming strtoul implementation shall render ERANGE whenever it finds the input string represents a negative integer. Such thing can never be representable using unsigned long. However this implementation does not honour that language. It just casts such negative value to the return type, resulting a very big return value. This behaviour is at least questionable. But we can no longer change that at this point.

Note: Not only does this function works under the "C" locale, but also assumes its execution character set be what ruby calls an ASCII-compatible character set; which does not include for instance EBCDIC or UTF-16LE.

◆ st_locale_insensitive_strcasecmp()

int st_locale_insensitive_strcasecmp	(	const char *	s1,
		const char *	s2
	)

Our own locale-insensitive version of strcasecmp(3).

The "case" here always means that of the POSIX Locale. It doesn't depend on runtime locale settings.

Parameters

[in]	s1	Comparison LHS.
[in]	s2	Comparison RHS.

Return values

-1	`s1` is "less" than `s2`.
0	Both strings converted into lowercase would be identical.
1	`s1` is "greater" than `s2`.

Note: Not only does this function works under the POSIX Locale, but also assumes its execution character set be what ruby calls an ASCII-compatible character set; which does not include for instance EBCDIC or UTF-16LE.

Definition at line 2002 of file st.c.

◆ st_locale_insensitive_strncasecmp()

int st_locale_insensitive_strncasecmp	(	const char *	s1,
		const char *	s2,
		size_t	n
	)

Our own locale-insensitive version of strcnasecmp(3).

The "case" here always means that of the POSIX Locale. It doesn't depend on runtime locale settings.

Parameters

[in]	s1	Comparison LHS.
[in]	s2	Comparison RHS.
[in]	n	Comparison shall stop after first `n` bytes are scanned.

Return values

-1	`s1` is "less" than `s2`.
0	Both strings converted into lowercase would be identical.
1	`s1` is "greater" than `s2`.

Note: Not only does this function works under the POSIX Locale, but also assumes its execution character set be what ruby calls an ASCII-compatible character set; which does not include for instance EBCDIC or UTF-16LE.

Warning: This function is not timing safe.
