`mruby-encoding` defines `MRB_UTF8_STRING` for the whole build, and that is the only thing turning UTF-8 on in a full-core build. It is about to stop, so the builds that are worth reading a string as UTF-8 in name it themselves. `full-debug` carries the UTF-8 tests of core and of the gems. `asan` and `clang-asan` are the only builds that catch a decoder reading past the end of a string. `boxing` is the only one that varies the width of `mrb_int`, which is what a UTF-8 length and offset are. `bintest` and `cxx_abi` keep the default, so the byte-indexed side is read as well. Repeating a `-D` of the same name is harmless, so nothing changes until the gem stops defining it.
The gem defines `MRB_UTF8_STRING` for every build it is part of, so a full-core build had no way to read a string as bytes and the byte-indexed side of these tests never ran. Stop defining it, and say what a build without UTF-8 answers: there is no UTF-8 for a string to be read as, so every string is byte-indexed whether or not the flag `b` sets is on. The assertion the `else` branch already carried has never been reached until now, and it fails here along with the two added beside it. Test-Status: red
`String#encoding` read the byte-indexed flag and named UTF-8 for anything the flag was off on. In a build with no UTF-8 that is every string literal, so it named an encoding the build does not have. Ask the flag only where there is a second answer to give.
Without UTF-8 there is nothing for `force_encoding("UTF-8")` to switch a string
to, and `Encoding::UTF_8` stands for an encoding that is not there. Both are
accepted today, which leaves a string claiming to be read as UTF-8 in a build
that reads it as bytes.
Expect the name to be turned away the way any other name the gem does not have
is, which is also what CRuby answers for a name with no encoding behind it.
Test-Status: red
Keep the UTF-8 arm of `force_encoding` and the `Encoding::UTF_8` constant to builds that have UTF-8. Where there is none, the name falls through to the `unknown encoding name` the gem already raises for a name it does not carry, and the constant is simply absent.
The README described one build. Say what a build without UTF-8 answers, and
rewrite the usage example.
Its non-UTF-8 branch was a guess ("might be limited or behave as ASCII-8BIT
depending on mruby's core string handling"), the lines after the branch call
`force_encoding("UTF-8")` outside it and so raise in such a build, and the
closing block asks `Object.const_defined?(:MRB_UTF8_STRING)`, which is always
false because nothing defines that constant on the Ruby side. `__ENCODING__`
is what tells the two builds apart.
Two gems explain their test split in terms of `mruby-encoding` defining `MRB_UTF8_STRING` for the build. It no longer does, and a build that wants UTF-8 asks for it in `build_config`.
The `default` build explained itself as the one place the byte-indexed mirror of the UTF-8 tests runs, because every other build in CI takes full-core and full-core read strings as UTF-8 through `mruby-encoding`. `bintest` and `cxx_abi` are byte-indexed now, so that is no longer what the build holds alone. What it does hold alone is the default gembox itself.

`clang-asan.rb` reads UTF-8 under the same sanitizers, so `asan.rb` is not the only build that catches a decoder walking past the end of a string.
The line leaned on the reader to work out what a byte-indexed string claims. Say why every sequence of bytes is valid instead.

Thank you for the thorough write-up, and sorry to turn this one down. The coupling you are pointing at is real, and I would rather say plainly why this particular cut does not work than leave the PR sitting. What the gem is worth without UTF-8I built the configuration this enables, full-core carrying The gem adds three methods, That is the part I cannot place. The gem exists to tell a byte-read string from a UTF-8 one, so a build with only one of the two has nothing for it to say. The limitation is already liftableThe PR opens with "a full-core build has no way to be byte-indexed". conf.gem :core => g unless g =~ /^mruby-(?:bin-debugger|test|sleep|encoding)$/I built that: What moving the define costs CIThis one is not in the PR description, and it is the part that would have bitten us later.
On the historyTo answer your question at the end: yes, please, every commit green. What I would welcomeThe coupling itself is worth attacking, and there is a cleaner place to do it. I am closing this, but not the question behind it. |

Thank you for building the configuration rather than reasoning about it. All three points land, and the third is the one I had not looked at. On the gem without UTF-8: you are right that there is nothing left for it to say. I had been treating On the limitation being liftable: also right, and I had read On On the history: understood, and thank you for answering the question directly rather than letting it stand. Every commit green from here. I have taken up the last part. #7154 adds Two things I found doing it. Removing a gem after the fact needs no restructuring: a What removal cannot do is drop a gem another gem depends on. |

mruby-encodingsetsMRB_UTF8_STRINGinspec.build.defines, and that is the only thing turning UTF-8 on in a full-core build (the only other place the define appears isbuild_config/i586-pc-msdosdjgpp.rb). The gem therefore cannot be used without making the whole build read strings as UTF-8, and a full-core build has no way to be byte-indexed.This series leaves the define to the build and lets the gem stand on both sides.

force_encoding("NOSUCH")andInteger#chr("NOSUCH")raiseArgumentError: unknown encoding name - %s, which is the message this gem already raises, andEncoding::NOSUCHraisesNameError. No new bit onRStringis needed.A dummy encoding was considered and dropped. CRuby lets
force_encodingthrough for a dummy encoding, so a build that turns the name away is not describing a dummy encoding but a missing one. Letting it through would need a bit saying "claims to be UTF-8", because a non-UTF-8 build does not setMRB_STR_BINARYon literals and so could not tell such a string from an ordinary one.build_configWith the gem no longer defining it, the builds that read the UTF-8 side name it themselves:
