Re: #'query-coding-region and invalid Unicode sequences.

Ar an ceathrú lá déag de mí Eanair, scríobh Julian Bradfield: XEmacs characters that reflect that Unicode coding systems encountered invalid octet sequences on disk. E.g. the output of (decode-coding-string "\xd8\x00\x00\x01" 'utf-16-be) ;; Invalid surrogates or (decode-coding-string "\xe4" 'utf-8) ;; Attempt to decode Latin 1 as utf-8 We produce them so that loading a, for example, koi8-r file as utf-8, making a single modification, and saving it does not necessarily trash the non-ASCII content. unicode.c:1743 and the code that uses that macro. Pre v23 GNU Emacs have the eight-bit-graphic character set, which they used for this situation with UTF-8. 23 doesn’t seem to deal with this situation well, as far as I can tell, I don’t get the option to write the invalid sequence to disk. The attached file is UTF-16 with byte order mark, and has an invalid sequence after the first ". ". Current GNU Emacs deals with it badly. XEmacs deals with it a little better, but not in a particularly stellar way right now either. -- ¿Dónde estará ahora mi sobrino Yoghurtu Nghe, que tuvo que huir precipitadamente de la aldea por culpa de la escasez de rinocerontes? _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
