Rewriting as C++ would only help a little, so it proabaly could read NULs, but it is still required to be (convertible to) UTF-8.
Just a query, why is it so limiting? What languages have embedded NULs? Geany is a lightweight IDE which edits text files, and can build applications from them, thats its use-case, and then Unicode covers all text. Its use-case does not include examining and patching binary files. If you have a use-case for reading/modifying binary it would be better to use the right tool, one that is designed to handle unformatted binary. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/discussions/3687#discussioncomment-7562487 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
