Bug #50189 [PATCH] - unicode byte order difference between SPARC and x86
Submitted: 2009-11-16 12:20 UTC Modified: 2011-03-08 18:39 UTC

Status: Not a bug Package: Unicode Engine related
PHP Version: 6SVN-2009-11-16 (SVN) OS: Solaris 10 (SPARC)
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
zspprintf() incorrectly represents strings/chars as unicode characters on Solaris (SPARC).

There are byte ordering differences for unicode representations between x86 and SPARC:

For example, the unicode representation (i've grouped them in sets of 2chars) of '/tmp' on x86 is
'/''\0' 't''\0' 'm''\0' 'p''\0'

and on SPARC it is
'\0''/' '\0''t' '\0''m' '\0''p'

http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=125811990106419&w=2 has some more details.

the problem seems to be in the smart_str_append2c macro that zspprintf()/xbuf_format_converter end up using.

The following patch fixes the problem:

Reproduce code:
---------------
% sapi/cli/php ext/spl/tests/DirectoryIterator_getBasename_basic_test.php

Expected result:
----------------
getBasename_test

Actual result:
--------------
php goes into an infinite loop

If is not "#if (defined(i386) || defined(__i386__) || defined(_X86_))
" vs others.

It is little endian vs big endian. I suspect that code should not assume that all other archs are big endian.

ext/sqlite3/libsqlite/sqlite3.c uses
#if defined(i386) || defined(__i386__) || defined(_M_IX86)\
                             || defined(__x86_64) || defined(__x86_64__)


Is that better?
