为什么将 char 作为参数传递给 islower() 不能正常工作？

Question

我的设置：glibc 2.24、gcc 6.2.0、UTF-8 环境。

当我们在下面test.c中调用islower()时，结果打印正确：

#include <locale.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void)
{
  setlocale(LC_ALL, "fr_FR.ISO-8859-1");
  if (islower(0xff)) return 0;
  return 1;
}

$ gcc -g -o test test.c
$ ./test; echo $?
0

现在我们把0xff改成'ÿ'，得到test2.c:

#include <locale.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void)
{
  setlocale(LC_ALL, "fr_FR.ISO-8859-1");
  if (islower('ÿ')) return 0;
  return 1;
}

虽然输出应该是0，和test.c一样，但不同的是：

$ gcc -g -fexec-charset=iso8859-1 -o test2 test2.c
$ ./test2; echo $?
1

已正确安装 iso8859-1 语言环境：

$ locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
en_US.utf8
french
fr_FR
fr_FR.iso88591
POSIX

strace 和 gdb 都没有透露任何有用的信息。

下面是 test 和 test2 的 strace 输出。

为什么test2不return0？

Answer 1

问题归结为：

如果我这样写：

int x = 'ÿ';

x 将是 -1，但我希望它是 255。

它是 -1，因为 'ÿ' 是一个 char 的值 0xff。但由于 char 在您的平台上签名，当您将其分配给 int.

时，会发生符号扩展

解决方法是这样写：

int x = (unsigned char)'ÿ';

所以 islower('ÿ') 写成 islower((unsigned char)'ÿ').

为什么将 char 作为参数传递给 islower() 不能正常工作？

Why passing char as parameter to islower() does not work correctly?
