[Qemu-devel] qapi escape-too-big test doesn't work if LANG=C ?

[Peter Maydell]

I recently tweaked my build scripts to run with LANG=C (trying
to suppress gcc's irritating habit of using smartquotes rather
than plain old ''). This seems to result in an error running
the qapi-schema/escape-too-big test:

PYTHONPATH=/home/petmay01/linaro/qemu-for-merges/scripts python3 -B
/home/petmay01/linaro/qemu-for-merges/tests/qapi-schema/test-qapi.py
/home/petmay01/linaro/qemu-for-merges/tests/qapi-schema/escape-too-big.json
>tests/qapi-schema/escape-too-big.test.out
2>tests/qapi-schema/escape-too-big.test.err; echo $?
>tests/qapi-schema/escape-too-big.test.exit

< tests/qapi-schema/escape-too-big.json:3:14: For now, \u escape only
supports non-zero values up to \u007f
