Comment(by pmichaud):
Reopening ticket -- bacek has already reverted the r39287 patch. r39287
suffered from two problems -- (1) it caused strings containing non-ascii
characters to throw an exception on numification (an API change), and (2)
every string-to-number conversion for non-ASCII strings would result in
creation of another gc-able object.
Here's a regression test that catches the first issue (and that fails in
r39287):
{{{
.sub 'main'
$S0 = unicode:"140 r\x{e9}sum\x{e9}s"
$N0 = $S0
say $N0
$I0 = find_encoding 'ucs2'
$S0 = trans_encoding $S0, $I0
$N0 = $S0
say $N0
.end
}}}
