Geth MoarVM/main: 9a1af71f3d | MasterDuke17++ (committed using GitHub Web editor) | src/strings/utf8.c
Some simplifications to MVM_string_utf8_decode (#1910)

  * Remove always-false checks
The size of the normalized results of decoding will always be less-than-or-equal to the number of input bytes, so these checks aren't needed. ... (8 more lines)		 18:50
lizmat MasterDuke17: with this patch, 2 spectests fail for me 19:17
tellable6 lizmat, I'll pass your message to MasterDuke
lizmat t/spec/S32-str/encode.rakudo.moar (Wstat: 512 Tests: 41 Failed: 2)
Failed tests: 12-13
the first one isn't too bad: it apparently loses some information in the error message 19:18
the second one is more serious: "ssß".encode("latin1").decode("utf8") doesn't die anymore, but encodes to "ss" 19:19
I've already bumped NQP, but will not bump Rakudo
scovit hello 21:31

scovit dirops.c defienes PATH_MAX that is a security issue, would you accept a patch to get rid of it? 21:32
basically replacing MVM_dir_cwd with a unix and a windows safe versions 21:33
patrickb scovit: I have no idea what my above comment was about... :-P
scovit patrickb: me neither, long time I don't come here
patrickb scovit: That sounds like a pretty straight forward patch and a no brainier to merge. Please go ahead! 21:34
scovit Can someone review this patch? github.com/scovit/MoarVM/commit/37...d78801dc66 23:17
also, I couldn't test if it builds on windows
further, it could be that the linux code path works on win32, not sure how moarvm deals with unicode filenames 23:19
my guess is that those are the only difference
