Ar an fichiú lá de mí na Nollaig, scríobh Stephen J. Turnbull: Mmm, not currently, since #'decode-coding-region is implemented as deletion followed by insertion, and the markers (and extent endpoints) are updated with each operation. But I understand what you mean. If it were just a matter of that, a call to bytecount_to_charcount() would address it. Ben suggests in some discussion on this that the relevant marker- and extent-positions be determined, the input be split up into segments appropriately, and the coding systems called on those segments individually. That seems to me to be the most thorough and correct approach to take. Am stuck at the airport for today, but I have some large paying translation projects to keep me occupied. I may get to this patch again in my breaks. -- ‘Liston operated so fast that he once accidentally amputated an assistant’s fingers along with a patient’s leg, […] The patient and the assistant both died of sepsis, and a spectator reportedly died of shock, resulting in the only known procedure with a 300% mortality.’ (Atul Gawande, NEJM, 2012) _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Patches mailing list XEmacs-Patches(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-patches
