This example shows the problem caused by the unimplementation of the
Encoding field of string constants in pbc files:
{{{
$ cat strings.pir
.sub main
$S0 = "hello"
show($S0)
$S0 = unicode:"hello"
show($S0)
$S0 = utf8:unicode:"hello"
show($S0)
$S0 = utf16:unicode:"hello"
show($S0)
$S0 = ucs2:unicode:"hello"
show($S0)
.end
.sub show
.param string s
print s
$I0 = bytelength s
print '('
print $I0
print "): "
$I0 = encoding s
$S0 = encodingname $I0
say $S0
.end
$ ./parrot strings.pir
hello(5): fixed_8
hello(5): utf8
hello(5): utf8
hello(5): utf16
hello(5): ucs2
$ ./parrot -o strings.pbc strings.pir
hello(5): fixed_8
hello(5): utf8
hello(5): utf8
hello(5): utf8
hello(5): utf8
}}}
To adequately solve the problem and test it, the pir compilers must also
be fixed.
