Hi guys, If i ask in wrong alias, please forgive me and forward to correct alias, thank you. The document of g_utf8_collate() require its parameters should be utf-8 encoded, but it did not check this in function body, so g_utf8_normalize() may return NULL for non-utf8 string, thus strcoll() will crash. I have met such problem for several time on opensolaris. So we need check at somewhere, 3 candidate: 1) check parameter in strcoll(): but because different c lib has diff implementation, so i guess it is not a good place to avoid this problem. 2) check parameter in g_utf8_* function: check parameter in this level will sensible, but it will result in a few check statement in g_utf8_* functions. 3) check in caller of g_utf8_*, this is ok also, but need every developer to do this. i prefer 2), cause it will reduce lots of developer's work, and the cost is little also. any comments or suggestions are welcome, thank you in advance. regards, yandong
