(whoops)
I just added octal and hex escapes to my local copy of the Tcl parser. I was working on unicode when I noticed that not all of the transcodes are done yet.
This works:
$S0 = unicode:"" $S1 = chr 0x30b3 $S0 .= $S1 print $S0 print "\n"
This does not:
$S0 = ascii:"" $S1 = chr 0x30b3 $S0 .= $S1
It fails with:
Cross-type string appending (fixed_8/ascii) (utf8/unicode) unsupported
Similarly, the default iso encoding doesn't allow conversion to unicode either.
FYI, the charset:"string constant" documentation in imcc doesn't mention "unicode", though unicode appears to be a valid choice.
Now, to work around the transcoding issue, I thought I'd just keep all my strings as unicode... but I can't do this, as part of my parsing involves adding single characters based on their value. e.g.: if I have something like
puts \11WHEE
Then I have to generate a string like this:
$S1 = chr $I1
... and that string defaults to iso, which can't be transcoded to unicode.
So, anyone want to implement iso to unicode translation? (it looks like there *is* an implementation for ASCII, but as I noted above, it generates an exception).
Regards.
