Subject: bug#33205: 26.1; unibyte/multibyte missing in rx.el
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2018 16:03:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b4972b6bfb53d3a5d3783e12517001579cf90db1.camel@acm.org> (raw)

rx.el has constructs corresponding to all named regexp character
classes ([[:alnum:]], [[:digit:]], etc) except unibyte and multibyte.
This looks like a simple omission.

Or is it on purpose? The ascii and nonascii classes appear very
similar; I haven't been able to see any operational difference from
unibyte and multibyte, respectively. In fact, neither seem to work as
expected on unibyte strings or buffers:

(setq s "A\310")
"A\310"
(multibyte-string-p s)
nil
(string-match-p "A[[:nonascii:]]" s)
nil
(string-match-p "A[[:ascii:]]" s)
nil
(string-match-p "A[[:unibyte:]]" s)
nil
(string-match-p "A[[:multibyte:]]" s)
nil
(string-match-p "A." s)
0

What is going on here? ascii/nonascii and unibyte/multibyte are
supposed to be complementary; if both fail, it's because there is
nothing to match. Yet . matches.

(By the way, you may want to fix a trivial typo in a doc string in
rx.el while you are at it: `indian-tow-byte')
