/* Compare strings A and B as file names containing version numbers,
|
|
and return an integer that is negative, zero, or positive depending
|
|
on whether A compares less than, equal to, or greater than B.
|
|
|
|
Use the following version sort algorithm:
|
|
|
|
1. Compare the strings' maximal-length non-digit prefixes lexically.
|
|
If there is a difference return that difference.
|
|
Otherwise discard the prefixes and continue with the next step.
|
|
|
|
2. Compare the strings' maximal-length digit prefixes, using
|
|
numeric comparison of the numbers represented by each prefix.
|
|
(Treat an empty prefix as zero; this can happen only at string end.)
|
|
If there is a difference, return that difference.
|
|
Otherwise discard the prefixes and continue with the next step.
|
|
|
|
3. If both strings are empty, return 0. Otherwise continue with step 1.
|
|
|
|
In version sort, lexical comparison is left to right, byte by byte,
|
|
using the byte's numeric value (0-255), except that:
|
|
|
|
1. ASCII letters sort before other bytes.
|
|
2. A tilde sorts before anything, even an empty string.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the version sort rules, the following strings have
|
|
special priority and sort before all other strings (listed in order):
|
|
|
|
1. The empty string.
|
|
2. ".".
|
|
3. "..".
|
|
4. Strings starting with "." sort before other strings.
|
|
|
|
Before comparing two strings where both begin with non-".",
|
|
or where both begin with "." but neither is "." or "..",
|
|
suffixes matching the C-locale extended regular expression
|
|
(\.[A-Za-z~][A-Za-z0-9~]*)*$ are removed and the strings compared
|
|
without them, using version sort without special priority;
|
|
if they do not compare equal, this comparison result is used and
|
|
the suffixes are effectively ignored. Otherwise, the entire
|
|
strings are compared using version sort. When removing a suffix
|
|
from a nonempty string, remove the maximal-length suffix such that
|
|
the remaining string is nonempty.
