#7853: UTF encodings do not detect overlong forms ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: batterseapower | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: libraries/base Version: 7.6.3 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: Incorrect result at runtime | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Comment(by batterseapower): Addendum: luckily GHC already detects overlong 3/4 byte forms. It merely lacks the check for 2-byte forms. I have a marvelous patch on a private branch that remedies this flaw, but alas this margin is too small to contain it. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7853#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
