[New-bugs-announce] [issue35062] io.IncrementalNewlineDecoder assign out-of-range value to bitwise struct field

[Xiang Zhang]

New submission from Xiang Zhang <angwerzx at 126.com>:

io.IncrementalNewlineDecoder gets a *translate* bitwise struct field, but it could be assigned arbitrary int value. This leads to inconsistent behaviour, evens are evaluated to False and odds to True.

>>> io.IncrementalNewlineDecoder(encodings.utf_8.IncrementalDecoder(), 4).decode(b"abcd\r\n")
u'abcd\r\n'
>>> io.IncrementalNewlineDecoder(encodings.utf_8.IncrementalDecoder(), 5).decode(b"abcd\r\n")
u'abcd\n'
