Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
The core of the patch is a wrapper that traps UnicodeDecodeErrors, corrects the strings, and re-decodes. A Python version might look like
def unicodeFromTclStringAndSize(s, size):
try:
return <PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8(s, size, NULL)>
except UnicodeDecodeError:
if b'\xc0\x80' in s:
s.replace(b'\xc0\x80', b'\x00')
return <PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8(s, size, NULL)>
else:
raise
This is used in a couple of additional wrappers and all direct decode calls are replaced with wrappers. New tests are added. Overall, a great idea, and I want to see this patch in 3.4. But, how many of the replacement sites are exercised by the tests?
There are a few changes that seem unrelated to nulls, which might have been left for another patch. Example:
-#if TCL_UTF_MAX==3
return PyUnicode_FromKindAndData(
- PyUnicode_2BYTE_KIND, Tcl_GetUnicode(value),
+ sizeof(Tcl_UniChar), Tcl_GetUnicode(value),
Tcl_GetCharLength(value));
-#else
- return PyUnicode_FromKindAndData(
- PyUnicode_4BYTE_KIND, Tcl_GetUnicode(value),
- Tcl_GetCharLength(value));
-#endif
Do you know if this code block is tested.
