Eryk Sun added the comment: In issue 20844 I suggested opening the file in binary mode, i.e. change the call to _Py_wfopen(filename, L"rb") in Modules/main.c. That would also entail documenting that PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags requires a FILE pointer that's opened in binary mode. After making this change, there's no problem parsing "encoding-problem-cp1252.py":
>python --version Python 3.6.0a4+ >python encoding-problem-cp1252.py ok When fp_setreadl is called while parsing "encoding-problem-cp1252.py", 47 bytes in the FILE buffer have been read -- up to the end of the coding spec. Let's verify this in the debugger: 0:000> bp python35_d!fp_setreadl 0:000> g Breakpoint 0 hit python35_d!fp_setreadl: 00000000`662bee00 4889542410 mov qword ptr [rsp+10h],rdx ss:000000d7`6cfeead8=000000d76cfeeaf8 0:000> ;as /x fp @@(((python35_d!tok_state *)@rcx)->fp) 0:000> ;as /x ptr @@(((ucrtbased!__crt_stdio_stream_data *)${fp})->_ptr) 0:000> ;as /x base @@(((ucrtbased!__crt_stdio_stream_data *)${fp})->_base) 0:000> ?? ${ptr} - ${base} int64 0n47 ftell() should return 47, but instead it returns -1. You can see this by opening the file in Python 2 on Windows, which uses FILE streams: >>> f = open('encoding-problem-cp1252.py') >>> f.read(47) '#!/usr/bin/env python\n# -*- coding: cp1252 -*-\n' >>> f.tell() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> IOError: [Errno 0] Error ftell starts by getting the file position from the OS and then subtracts the unread bytes in the buffer. The buffer has already undergone CRLF => LF translation, so ftell makes an assumption that the file uses CRLF line endings and thus subtracts 2 bytes for each unread LF. In this case the buffer happens to have 48 unread LFs, so ftell returns -1, with the only actual error being a fundamentally flawed design in the CRT's text mode. ---------- nosy: +eryksun _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27797> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
