[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

On Solaris 10 x86/x64,
"test-mbrtowc3.sh" fails if European localization is not installed.
It passes with European localization.

This is the common test-suite bug in
diffutils-3.3, grep-2.20, libunistring-0.9.4 and m4-1.4.17.

If second argument `s' to mbrtowc is NULL, first argument `pwc' should
not be changed, but it seems that it is changed into L'\0' on Solaris 10.

Thanks for this (old) bug report <http://bugs.gnu.org/18974>.

I cannot reproduce the problem with grep 2.25 on Solaris 10 sparc with cc from 
Studio 12.5. Perhaps the mbrtowc bug has been fixed. Or perhaps I have not 
reproduced the scenario (looking at the test, it seems that it depends on a 
Japanese locale, not a European one). Or perhaps the bug is x86-64 specific. In 
any event, since grep itself does not depend on the mbrtowc functionality in 
question, this is not a bug in grep, so I'm closing the grep bug. If someone 
wants to fix it I suppose they can debug the issue and send a patch to 
bug-gnulib, but this is low priority.

Hello,

I confirmed it is fixed in grep-2.25.

Thanks,
