[ruby-core:35479] [Ruby 1.9 - Bug #4489] [PATCH] Encodings with /-(unix|dos|mac)\Z/

From: "James M. Lawrence" <quixoticsycophant@...>
Date: 2011-03-10 06:36:51 UTC
List: ruby-core #35479
Issue #4489 has been updated by James M. Lawrence.


Notice the patch corrects a typo (5 instead of 4) which has been there since 2007.
Ruby *accidentally* recognizes utf-8-mac as UTF8-MAC encoding because of the typo.
That accident is, fortunately, correct behavior.

However you think it should work, the code below the typo is not being executed.

-    if (len > 4 && name[nlen = len - 5] == '-') {
+    if (len > 4 && name[nlen = len - 4] == '-') {

Bug #4489: [PATCH] Encodings with /-(unix|dos|mac)\Z/
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4489

Author: James M. Lawrence
Status: Rejected
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3dev (2011-03-10 trunk 31080) [i386-darwin9.8.0]


The *-dos and *-mac meta-encodings were not being recognized. utf-8-mac is a special case since it corresponds to a real encoding; its meta-encoding is utf-8-mac-mac.
