2010-03-01sort: fix issues with month sorting in some localesPádraig Brady
* src/sort.c (char fold_toupper[]): Change to unsigned so as the correct comparisons are made in getmonth(). This fixes unibyte locales where abbreviated months have characters that are > 0x7F, but it also works for multibyte locales with the caveat that multibyte characters are matched case sensitively. With this change, the following example sorts correctly: $ echo -e "1 márta\n2 Feabhra" | LANG=ga_IE.utf8 sort -k2,2M 2 Feabhra 1 márta * src/sort.c (inittables): Since we ignore blanks around months in the input, don't include them when they're present in the locale. With this change, the following example sorts correctly: $ echo -e "1 2月\n2 1月" | LANG=ja_JP.utf8 sort -k2,2M 2 1月 1 2月 * tests/misc/sort-month: A new test to exercise the above cases. * tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
