But on Windows, the CompareStringOrdinal() function + converts characters to uppercase. This makes a difference when + comparing a letter to one of the characters that fall between 'Z' + (0x5A) and 'a' (0x61), namely {'[', '\\', ']', '^', '_', '`'}. For + example, + + 'c' (0x63) > '_' (0x5F) + 'C' (0x43) < '_' (0x5F) + +Compare key names byte for byte, eliminating problems (1) and (3). + +Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1648520 +Signed-off-by: Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com> +Message-Id: <20210909230617.31256-1-lersek@redhat.com> +Acked-by: Richard W.M.
