============================

As noted in the NEWS file, as of 3.1.5, gawk uses character values instead
of byte values for `index', `length', `substr' and `match'.  This works
in multibyte and unicode locales.

============================

Multibyte locales can cause occasional weirdness, in particular with
ranges inside brackets: /[....]/.  Something that works great for ASCII
will choke for, e.g., en_US.UTF-8.  One such program is test/gsubtst5.awk.

By default, the test suite runs with LC_ALL=C and LANG=C. You
can change this by doing (from a Bourne-style shell):

	$ GAWKLOCALE=some_locale make check

Then the test suite will set LC_ALL and LANG to the given locale.

As of this writing, this works for en_US.UTF-8, and all tests
pass except gsubtst5.

For the normal case of RS = "\n", the locale is largely irrelevant.
For other single byte record separators, using LC_ALL=C will give you
much better performance when reading records.  Otherwise, gawk has to
make several function calls, *per input character* to find the record
terminator.  You have been warned.
