----------------------------------
Summary: OctalUnescaper code is complex, leading to bugs
Key: LANG-929
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-929
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: lang.text.translate.*
Reporter: Henri Yandell
Assignee: Henri Yandell
Fix For: Patch Needed
My gut is that the code in OctalUnescaper is unnecessarily complex. It feels
simpler to look at the legitimate values for an Octal more explicitly.
Thinking the current code through, it fails if you pass it \279. That should be
octal \27 followed by a 9, but instead it will try to parse it as an Octal and
throw a NumberFormatException.
