Last Update: Settings changed ( andreas_kupries )

Details:

On an Alpha XL-300 (64-bit platform) some of
the mime tests fail:

% source mime.test

==== mime-4.4 Test qp_encode with non-US_ASCCI
characters. FAILED
==== Contents of test case:

set str1 "Test de caract�res accentu�s : � � � � et
quelques contr�les \"\[|\]()\""
mime::qp_encode $str1

---- Result was:
Test de caract=FFres accentu=FFs : =FF =FF =FF =FF et
quelques contr=FFle=
s =22=5B=7C=5D()=22
---- Result should have been:
Test de caract=E8res accentu=E9s : =E2 =EE =E9 =E7 et
quelques contr=F4le=
s =22=5B=7C=5D()=22
==== mime-4.4 FAILED

==== mime-5.1 Test word_encode with quoted-printable
method FAILED
==== Contents of test case:

mime::word_encode iso8859-1 quoted-printable "Test
de contr�le effectu�"

---- Result was:

Date: 2005-09-26 23:50 Sender: andreas_kupries Logged In: YES user_id=75003 Apparently. No test failures for me on a x86_64 platform as well. Across Tcl 8.[2345].
Date: 2004-10-07 17:49 Sender: dgp Logged In: YES user_id=80530 No test failures from mime 1.4 (tcllib 1.7). This is fixed?
Date: 2003-04-25 20:46 Sender: andreas_kupries Logged In: YES user_id=75003 Man page is extended now with section about known bugs, and this item was filed. Modding down, no other change for the 1.4 release.
Date: 2003-04-25 19:37 Sender: andreas_kupries Logged In: YES user_id=75003 Better solution, IMHO: Add known bugs section to mime manpages and add info about this problem. Forcing the large set of 32-bitters to switch to 8.4 for a bug hitting only the small 64-bit crowd is not so good IMHO.
Date: 2003-04-21 19:39 Sender: andreas_kupries Logged In: YES user_id=75003 Don confirms that this failure is gone for Tcl 8.4.2.
Date: 2003-04-11 21:30 Sender: dgp Logged In: YES user_id=80530 If this package needs Tcl 8.4 to work correctly. lets just add [package require Tcl 8.4] and declare victory.
Date: 2002-10-31 00:39 Sender: davidw Logged In: YES user_id=240 I don't see this bug anymore with tcl8.4. It does seem to produce different results for the first failed test on x86 Test de caract=FFres accentu=FFs : =FF =FF =FF =FF et quelques contr=FFle=s =22=5B=7C=5D()=22 and my linux ppc (unsigned char) machine: Test de caract=C3res accentu=C3s : =C3 =C3 =C3 =C3 et quelques contr=C3le=s =22=5B=7C=5D()=22
Date: 2001-12-11 22:06 Sender: andreas_kupries Logged In: YES user_id=75003 Priority down.
Date: 2001-08-23 16:02 Sender: dgp Logged In: YES user_id=80530 More data: I see these test failures in a Tcl 8.3.3 and in a Tcl 8.4a2 interp. I do not see them in a Tcl 8.4a3 interp. More magical corrections from the Unicode update? Anyhow, a [package require Tcl 8.4] might eventually take care of this.
Date: 2001-08-21 09:00 Sender: dkf Logged In: YES user_id=79902 It seems mystifying to me; have you checked that it is not an [encoding] problem? If the problem really is a 64-bit nasty, it might be fixable with a quick [expr {...&0xff}] in the right spots to trim all the offending bits...
Date: 2001-08-20 17:45 Sender: andreas_kupries Logged In: YES user_id=75003 Maybe related to Tcl Bug 219223: http://sf.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=219223&gr oup_id=10894&atid=110894
