    Submitter's Classification Test Suite problem
    State Resolved
    Resolution Test Suite Deficiency (TSD)
    Problem Resolution ID TSD.X.0565

    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSU version 5.0.2
    Test Identification headers/xcurses 47
    Problem Summary TSD4U.00253 This test will fail on implementations which use values for A_ attributes which will not fit in an attr_t.
    Problem Text
    struct {
    char *name;
    attr_t value;
    } vdata[NITEMS];

    int vindex, i, j;

    static void test47A(void)
    {
    .....

    vindex = 0;

    vdata[vindex].value = A_ALTCHARSET;
    vdata[vindex].name = "A_ALTCHARSET"
    vindex++;

    .....

    for (i = 0; i < vindex-1; i++) {
    for (j = i+1; j < vindex; j++) {
    if (vdata[i].value == vdata[j].value) {
    sprintf((char *)&ebuf[0], "ERROR: Value for %s (%d) equal to
    value for %s.", vdata[i].name, vdata[i].value, vdata[j].name);
    .....
    }
    }
    }
    .....
    }

    According to Curses Interface, 4.2, p. 16, "Attributes can be specified
    using constants with the A_ prefix specified in <curses.h>. The A_
    constants manipulate attributes in object of type chtype. The WA_
    constants manipulate attributes in objects of type attr_t."

    The test is treating constants with the A_ prefix as objects of type attr_t
    and comparing them to objects of type chtype. In our implementation, the
    two data types are of different sizes, and corresponding attribute
    identifiers have different values. For example:

    <curses.h>
    ,,,
    #define WA_STANDOUT 0x0001
    #define WA_UNDERLINE 0x0002
    ...
    #define A_STANDOUT 0x00010000L
    #define A_UNDERLINE 0x00020000L
    ...

    This is causing the test to fail.
