Subject: Fcall_process: wrong conversion
Date: Mon, 15 May 2006 14:09:59 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BAY112-F285F5DE0ED99FCADB2642DDAA30@phx.gbl> (raw)
Hello,
Fcall_process in callproc.c, which is correspond to `call-process',
cannot handle UTF-16 (both LE or BE) correctly. Take a look at line
417 to 424, callproc.c:
for (i = 4; i < nargs; i++)
{
argument_coding.src_multibyte = STRING_MULTIBYTE (args[i]);
if (CODING_REQUIRE_ENCODING (&argument_coding))
/* We must encode this argument. */
args[i] = encode_coding_string (&argument_coding, args[i], 1);
new_argv[i - 3] = SDATA (args[i]);
}
If encoding is UTF-16, encode_coding_string will convert all ascii
characters in an argument to wide ones, and add prefix to that
argument. For example, if argv[4] is "-hex", it may be converted to
"\376\377\0-\0h\0e\0x", which is normally not a correct argument to
most programs and so causes these programs complaining about it. Even
wide characters are converted to wrong arguments by adding "\376\377"
or "\377\376".
I found this problem when applying `hexl-mode' to UTF-16 texts. Could
somebody help solve it?
And I don't know whether similar problems resides somewhere else.
Thanks very much.
Regards,
Guanpeng Xu
