Manual backport of #111898.
Fix incorrect return condition for iOS IndexOf implementation and add test case for
IndexOf("", <something>)
and"".Contains(<something>)
. Clean-up of some styling issues and adding comments.Customer Impact
Customers using
CompareInfo.IndexOf
orstring.Contains
APIs on empty source strings involving ICU logic are returning a result 0 (indicates found at index 0) instead of -1 (indicates not found).Some of the issues reported by customers:
Regression
The regression was introduced in #86895 and initially limited to when hybrid globalization is enabled. However, in .NET 9, we switched fully to Apple native globalization APIs (initially also referred to as hybrid globalization), thus spreading this issue to all iOS Globalization code using the IndexOf API.
Testing
Previously there were no test cases for this code path. This PR adds test scenarios for both
CompareInfo.IndexOf
orstring.Contains
.Risk
Low
This change is correcting previously incorrect behavior. It is unlikely that .NET 9 iOS customers are depending on this new behavior as it is fundamentally incorrect as per .net doc.
