Hello,
I was reading through serialize.c and i couldn't answer something.
In readItem, case CHARSXP, rules exists to adjust the read string for
string encoding.
Q1. I couldn't find where the encoding of the elements of the string vector
are written? Is it when writeItem writes out the attributes of the item?
But i couldn't find encoding in the attributes field
x <- "fa\xE7ile"
Encoding(x) <- "latin1"
xx <- iconv(x, "latin1", "UTF-8")
y=c(x,xx)
attributes(y)
NULL
Apologies if this has been asked before
Regards
Saptarshi
