Re: ctype functions going, going - not!

I believe the latest discussion settled on rewriting ctype_* functions to use ICU internally in HEAD, so that they work correctly on Unicode strings. -Andrei

That simplifies things. I actually believe that the word about this has to spread, since I am not the only one with the impression that these functions are going.[1][2][3] I can not find any open bugs on this, but did find the meeting notes that confirms Andrei's message.[4] As for mixed messages. Is not the fact that they are listed on this page: http://www.php.net/~scoates/unicode/render_func_data.php an indication that the work already has been done? Also: Am I correct in assuming that the new ICU-based ctype functions will use locale_set_default() instead of setlocale()? (A side note: Will the preg-functions continue to use setlocale()?) And finally, I hope my asking these questions are not out of place. I chose this list since I need authoritative answers and my questions are about internals issues. I beg your forgiveness if I have contributed to any unnecessary noise. -- Keryx Web (Lars Gunther) http://keryx.se/ http://twitter.com/itpastorn/ http://itpastorn.blogspot.com/ 1. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/php-dev/3529073 2. http://devzone.zend.com/article/2448 3. http://wiki.php.net/todo/php60 Item 1:7 4. http://wiki.php.net/summits/pdmnotesmay09
