Description
With the recent updates to wsdiff, it seems we've regressed on the ability to correctly diff certain files:
18:34:51 + /opt/onbld/bin/wsdiff -r artefacts/wsdiff.txt previous/proto/root_i386 current/proto/root_i386 18:37:48 platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix 18:38:27 platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix 18:41:54 etc/motd 18:45:40 usr/sbin/iasl 18:46:14 usr/sbin/acpixtract 18:46:15 usr/sbin/acpidump 19:38:36 usr/lib/spell/hlistb 19:38:36 Exception in thread Thread-2: 19:38:36 Traceback (most recent call last): 19:38:36 File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 801, in __bootstrap_inner 19:38:36 self.run() 19:38:36 File "/opt/onbld/bin/wsdiff", line 1233, in run 19:38:36 compareOneFile(base, ptch, False) 19:38:36 File "/opt/onbld/bin/wsdiff", line 1277, in compareOneFile 19:38:36 return compareBasic(base, ptch, quiet, fileType) 19:38:36 File "/opt/onbld/bin/wsdiff", line 1112, in compareBasic 19:38:36 difference(fileName, fileType, diffs) 19:38:36 File "/opt/onbld/bin/wsdiff", line 195, in difference 19:38:36 log_difference(f, dtype, diffs) 19:38:36 File "/opt/onbld/bin/wsdiff", line 212, in log_difference 19:38:36 print(diffs[:diffs_sz_thresh], file=log) 19:38:36 UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 64-66: ordinal not in range(128)
Note that usr/lib/spell/hlistb, a binary data file, differs by two bytes between the two workspaces:
root@jenkins-oi0:~# diff \
<(LANG=C od -t x1 /export/jenkins/workspace/wsdiff/previous/proto/root_i386/usr/lib/spell/hlistb) \
<(LANG=C od -t x1 /export/jenkins/workspace/wsdiff/current/proto/root_i386/usr/lib/spell/hlistb)

> 0014760 d7 f1 1a 93 1a d8 7e e8 98 7f ce a9 7c de 89 b1
Richard Lowe and I have previously noticed that hlistb (and hlista) occasionally differ by one or two bytes for no reason we've yet been able to determine -- but we noticed this because prior to the changes, wsdiff did correctly render the differences.

Note that the error seen above occurs when wsdiff is run in the en_US.UTF-8 locale. If I instead run the program with LANG=C LC_ALL=C, it doesn't blow up. It's not clear that the diff is correct, though:
usr/lib/spell/hlistb
NOTE: ASCII difference detected.
