grep crashing while TextSearching

[humdinger]

This is hrev 45105.

I'm using the TextSearch add-on on the Haiku source folder haiku/src/bin/. It runs and runs and occasionally grep crashes (maybe 4 or 5 times while running the search). This should be the relevant part of Debugger's report, attached is the full output:

Ah. Seems to be some encoding problem. It's reproducible with e.g. "haiku/src/add-ons/input_server/methods/canna/canna/jrkanji.h" which apparently includes kanji characters.

Some more test files, if useful:

• ​http://cgit.haiku-os.org/buildtools/plain/binutils/bfd/po/zh_CN.po
• ​http://cgit.haiku-os.org/buildtools/plain/binutils/bfd/po/ja.po

Reproducible here on hrev45107 with the same/similar crash in mbtolower + 0x2fd

grep packages should probably be rebuilt, since I'm now unsure they were built on a sufficiently newer Haiku to be compatible.

I have added a TEST section to the grep bep on haikuports, which can be run by using the --test option with haikuporter. grep is failing one test out of 56, with 6 tests skipped. I haven't yet run the 6 skipped test but one or more of those might also fail.

[scottmc]

I've added several bep files for several versions of grep to haikuports. The --test haikuporter option will allow running of the grep test suite.

Running grep with the -i command line option results in crashes to the debugger in versions 2.6.1 and newer but not with 2.5.4 and older.

Strange thing is that even when grep 2.6.1 fails, the debug crash dialog shows that grep 2.10 failed.
See attached screenshot.

grep version 2.6.1 fails when using -i command line option, but dialog shows 2.10

The grep-2.10 turned out to just be one of the directories it was searching... so that's not an issue. But the -i issue seems to be due to something that changed in grep from 2.5.4 and 2.6.1.

Sorry for duplicate with #9527
I've recompiled grep with haikuporter -i grep-2.6.1 on a gcc4only build of haiku hrev45343 and the crash with -i option is gone for me.

Replying to bartolomiew:

Try running haikuporter --test grep-2.6.1 and see if all of the tests are passing for you.

haikuporter --test grep-2.6.3 results :

SKIP: fmbtest
====================
All 33 tests passed
(1 test was not run)
====================

grep-2.6.1 pass tests & using -i
grep-2.6.3 pass tests & using -i
grep-2.7 failed to compile
grep-2.12 failed on some tests but pass using -i
grep-2.14 failed on some tests and sigsegv using -i

[bartolomiew]

I've created a .bep for grep-2.13
grep-2.13 failed on some tests and sigsegv using -i

So sigsegv using -i is in 2.13 changes, I hope this help
