Are you sure that it worked with 8.33? Most of the errors are this one,
in test number 3:
** Failed to set locale "french"
I don't think there were any changes in the locale code. Does Solaris
have a "french" locale? The RunTest script that runs the tests does
check for the locale using this bit of code:
locale -a | grep '^french$' >/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
locale=french
sed 's/fr_FR/french/' $testdata/testinput3 >test3input
sed 's/fr_FR/french/' $testdata/testoutput3 >test3output
and it then runs the test on the modified files. The setlocale()
function is called to set the locale; it it that which has failed.
One error is different in test 13:
/a*/SI
Capturing subpattern count = 0
+May match empty string
No options
No first char
No need char
This feature was added in 8.34. Are you sure you used the 8.34 version
of testdata/testoutput13? The 8.34 version does contain the added line.
