Michael McCandless commented on XERCESJ-1257:
---------------------------------------------

Michael: alas, no, not yet at least.  If I can somehow whittle down Wikipedia's 
export to a smaller test, I'll post it back.

Though, I would think testing on Wikipedia's XML exports would make a good 
standard nightly or pre-release test case for Xerces, for correctness and 
performance.

Robert: thanks for the pointer -- I'll give that a shot.

> There is a ArrayOutOfBoundsException in org.apache.xerces.impl.io.UTF8Reader, 
> in read(char[],int,int) for 4-byte utf-8 chars.
> Imagine a following scenario. read() has a buffer of size N, and it reads N-1 
> ascii chars, and stores it in the output buffer. Let the Nth char be the 
> first byte of a 4 byte utf-8 char. The other 3 bytes are fetched by invoking 
> read() on the input stream. From these a surrogate pair of java chars is 
> made, however, method does not check if both chars can fit into the output 
> buffer ... In most cases, they would fit into the ouput buffer (e.g. if there 
> are some other multi-byte chars in the fetched text), so the bug is very 
> rare, but it still happens.
