Subject: bug#30219: 27.0.50; (should (equal ...)) bug for string equality
Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2019 16:34:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CEAA5F54-E7E5-458A-A7D4-6235AF1A469C@acm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <m2d121ld0u.fsf@gmail.com>

The bug is directly reproducible, and not very surprising given the subtleties in mixed uni/multibyte string comparisons. ERT treats strings as arrays to be compared element-wise via `aref', which isn't how `equal' works.

There are several solutions, none perfect. I'll be back with a patch later today or tomorrow.
