number of years. Samba 4.21 and LDB 2.10 removes this unused and
broken feature.
Changes in LDB handling of Unicode
----------------------------------
Developers using LDB up to version 2.9 could call ldb_set_utf8_fns()
to determine how LDB handled casefolding. This is used internally by
string comparison functions. In LDB 2.10 this function is deprecated,
and ldb_set_utf8_functions() is preferred. The new function allows a
direct comparison function to be set as well as a casefold function.
This improves performance and allows for more robust handling of
degenerate cases. The function should be called just after ldb_init(),
with the following arguments:
ldb_set_utf8_functions(ldb, /* the struct ldb_ctx LDB object */
context_variable /* possibly NULL */
casefold_function,
case_insensitive_comparison_function);
The default behaviour of LDB remains to perform ASCII casefolding
only, as if in the "C" locale. Recent versions have become
increasingly consistent in this.
Some Samba public libraries made private by default
