Subject: Correctly explain test failures with mixed uni/multibyte strings
X-Git-Tag: emacs-27.0.90~1101
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=67ed6ee7337d66dc1101e41bc2e67bde5ab0ecd4;p=emacs.git

Correctly explain test failures with mixed uni/multibyte strings

* lisp/emacs-lisp/ert.el (ert--explain-equal-rec):
* test/lisp/emacs-lisp/ert-tests.el (ert-test-explain-equal):
When explaining a difference between a unibyte and a multibyte string,
first convert both to multibyte.  Otherwise, we might end up comparing
unibyte char C to multibyte char C, 127<C<256, and not detect the
difference (bug#30219).
