We do this for compatibility with Ruby 1.8.6, though as you can see, we don't have the error message quite right:
PS F:\> C:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe x.rb x.rb:1: Invalid char `\377' in expression x.rb:1: Invalid char `\376' in expression :) I believe you'll need to save as UTF-8 and then manually strip the BOM in order to use Unicode source files -- hopefully Tomas will tell me if I'm wrong. Source encoding for Ruby is extremely tricky, and (from what I can tell) hasn't even yet been finalized for 1.9.x. We will eventually support whatever the Ruby standards are. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ted Milker Sent: Sunday, October 26, 2008 9:38 AM To: ironruby-core@rubyforge.org Subject: [Ironruby-core] Unicode Source Files Is the DLR going to be fixed so that it properly supports Unicode source files or is this an issue with IronRuby? If you attempt to create a new Code File with Visual Studio 2008 and call it test.rb and then execute it with: ScriptRuntime runtime = IronRuby.Ruby.CreateRuntime(); runtime.ExecuteFile( "test.rb" ); it blows up on the Unicode byte-order marker with: Unhandled Exception: Microsoft.Scripting.SyntaxErrorException: Invalid character 'ï' in expression at Microsoft.Scripting.ErrorSink.Add(SourceUnit source, String message, SourceSpan span, Int32 errorCode, Severity severity) in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\Microsoft.Scripting\ErrorSink.cs:line 34 at Microsoft.Scripting.ErrorCounter.Add(SourceUnit source, String message, SourceSpan span, Int32 errorCode, Severity severity) in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\Microsoft.Scripting\ErrorSink.cs:line 92 at IronRuby.Compiler.Tokenizer.Report(String message, Int32 errorCode, SourceSpan location, Severity severity) in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\ironruby\Compiler\Parser\Tokenizer.cs:line 430 at IronRuby.Compiler.Tokenizer.ReportError(ErrorInfo info, Object[] args) in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\ironruby\Compiler\Parser\Tokenizer.cs:line 442 at IronRuby.Compiler.Tokenizer.Tokenize(Boolean whitespaceSeen, Boolean cmdState) in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\ironruby\Compiler\Parser\Tokenizer.cs:line 966 at IronRuby.Compiler.Tokenizer.Tokenize() in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\ironruby\Compiler\Parser\Tokenizer.cs:line 739 at IronRuby.Compiler.Tokenizer.GetNextToken() in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\ironruby\Compiler\Parser\Tokenizer.cs:line 711 at IronRuby.Compiler.Parser.GetNextToken() in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\ironruby\Compiler\Parser\Parser.cs:line 99 at IronRuby.Compiler.ShiftReduceParser`2.Parse() in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\ironruby\Compiler\Parser\GPPG.cs:line 310 at IronRuby.Compiler.Parser.Parse(SourceUnit sourceUnit, RubyCompilerOptions options, ErrorSink errorSink) in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\ironruby\Compiler\Parser\Parser.cs:line 158 at IronRuby.Runtime.RubyContext.ParseSourceCode(SourceUnit sourceUnit, RubyCompilerOptions options, ErrorSink errorSink) in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\ironruby\Runtime\RubyContext.cs:line 203 at IronRuby.Runtime.RubyContext.CompileSourceCode(SourceUnit sourceUnit, CompilerOptions options, ErrorSink errorSink) in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\ironruby\Runtime\RubyContext.cs:line 179 at Microsoft.Scripting.SourceUnit.Compile(CompilerOptions options, ErrorSink errorSink) in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\Microsoft.Scripting\SourceUnit.cs:line 215 at Microsoft.Scripting.SourceUnit.Execute(Scope scope, ErrorSink errorSink) in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\Microsoft.Scripting\SourceUnit.cs:line 225 at Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting.ScriptSource.Execute(ScriptScope scope) in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\Microsoft.Scripting\Hosting\ScriptSource.cs:line 129 at Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting.ScriptEngine.ExecuteFile(String path, ScriptScope scope) in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\Microsoft.Scripting\Hosting\ScriptEngine.cs:line 159 at Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting.ScriptEngine.ExecuteFile(String path) in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\Microsoft.Scripting\Hosting\ScriptEngine.cs:line 148 at Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting.ScriptRuntime.ExecuteFile(String path) in C:\Users\ted\Desktop\IronRuby\src\Microsoft.Scripting\Hosting\ScriptRuntime.cs:line 257 at HostingDLRConsole.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Users\ted\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\Books\IronRuby in Action\HostingDLRConsole\HostingDLRConsole\Program.cs:line 14 Press any key to continue . . . I know I can fix this by using the Advanced Save Options but the DLR spec talks about Unicode support, so I assume this means that ScriptRuntime.ExecuteFile() should also support Unicode source files. _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core
