The drive letters don't have locales; the rest of the paths have. There are
only 26 driveletters with the US-ASCII characters A-Z. (Internally always
represented by the upper case letters, but the current path can use a lower
case path, as that is only managed in userspace).
I think a wrapper which maps 'a'-'z' explicitly might be a bit better, to
resolve this specific issue..
Something like: (untested)
char drive_to_upper(char letter)
{
if (letter >= 'a' && letter <= 'z')
return letter - 'a' + 'A';
else
return letter;
}
But the case this patch resolves an issue that has been reported only once
over the last 9 years (at least for Subversion)... and the only place where
this apr_toupper()would fail is when this specific case happens.. combined
with this Turkish locale and the drive I:, which is very uncommon too...
Good theoretical bug ;-)
