I tried going through the git history to find any context and the only thing I can figure is that there are lots of leftovers from super early Go (in fact, this whole test suite is full of them...). In particular, shouldn't the first line there not be different from just the test on b? IIRC, I think the runtime pads, or used to pad, strings with a zero byte for easy compatibility with C strings and CGO interop. The runtime conversion to []byte seems to preserve, or used to preserve that trailing zero byte. The test checks that DecodeRune is not tripped by the zero byte trailer, ditto DecodeRuneInString. -- -j -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
