    Problem Summary TSD4.225 This interpretation request is also for the following tests, which have the same problem: /tset/ANSI.os/string/strxfrm_X/T.strxfrm_X 2 Failed /tset/XPG4.os/wstring/wcscoll/T.wcscoll 1 Failed /tset/XPG...
    Problem Text
    This interpretation request is also for the following tests, which have
    the same problem:

    /tset/ANSI.os/string/strxfrm_X/T.strxfrm_X 2 Failed
    /tset/XPG4.os/wstring/wcscoll/T.wcscoll 1 Failed
    /tset/XPG4.os/wstring/wcsxfrm/T.wcsxfrm 1 Failed

    As noted in the output above, the tests are expecting the C locale
    collating order to be in effect for VSX4L0 since no LC_COLLATE category
    was defined in the VSX4L0 source file. This test is not supported by
    the XPG4 V2 XBD or XSH specifications.

    The XBD spec on page 46(V2) under section 5.3 "Locale Definition" states
    the following:

    " ... In the event that some of the information for a locale category, as
    specified in this document is missing from the locale source definition,
    the behaviour of that category, if it is referenced, is unspecified."

    The XSH spec on page 596 in the description section for strcoll() states
    the following:

    "The strcoll() function compares the string pointed to by s1 to the string
    pointed to by s2, both interpreted as appropriate to the LC_COLLATE category
    of the current locale."

    No mention is made of defaulting undefined categories to the C locale definition
    in either of these sections (or any other section of the specs that I can fin)
    when setlocale(LC_COLLATE,VSX4L0) has been invoked.


    Test Output
    ************************************************************************
    /tset/ANSI.os/string/strcoll_X/T.strcoll_X 2 Failed

    Test Description:
    strcoll() works like strcmp() if :
    a. there has been no previously successful call to setlocale();
    b. collating information is not available for the currently specified
    language;

    Test Strategy:
    CREATE child process
    VERIFY collation is as per 'C' locale when no locale has been set
    SET locale to VSX4L0
    VERIFY collation is as per 'C' locale when locale with no collating
    information has been set

    Test Information:
    strcoll acts like strcmp when the collating information for the locale
    is not available
    Current language setting is VSX4L0
    strcoll did not return expected value
    value of first argument : 726f636c6574 (roclet)
    value of second argument : 726f636865 (roche)
    expected return value : > 0
    actual return value : 0

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    It is accepted that this is a test suite fault and it is recommended
    that a waiver is granted on the grounds of a test suite deficiency.

    It seems that tests for this default behaviour were generated from text
    in XPG3 and the tests were not modified when the behaviour was made to
    be implementation specific.
