[swift-corelibs-dev] CharacterSet Issues

[Tony Parker]

Hi David,

Philippe recently put up a PR for these changes again to the overlay and its tests, but I think we’re stuck on some issue where the iPhone sim test is failing and we’re not sure why (https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/8283 <https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/8283>).

On the darwin side, these fixes required a change in CoreFoundation, which we put into the recently-released 10.12.4 and 10.3 and family. I think I already merged the CFCharacterSet.c change itself to swift-corelibs-foundation.

- Tony

In particular I've been looking at SR-3485 (CharacterSet.isSuperset(of:) returns wrong result on Linux), alongside this I've noticed there's various others such as SR-3282, SR-3825 and SR-2956 to name a few.

So firstly I was wondering if there has been any update on this recently? And is this a planned fix for all of the current issues in CharacterSet?
