Meanwhile, to work around the bug, use something like this: (define non-broken-bytes-utf-8-length bytes-utf-8-length) ;; To confuse and work around the optimizer: (set! non-broken-bytes-utf-8-length non-broken-bytes-utf-8-length) At Fri, 8 Dec 2017 15:58:32 -0800 (PST), Jonathan Simpson wrote: > Welcome to DrRacket, version 6.11 [3m]. > Language: racket, with debugging; memory limit: 128 MB. > > (if (bytes-utf-8-length (bytes 255)) 1 2) > 1 > > (bytes-utf-8-length (bytes 255)) > #f > > (not (bytes-utf-8-length (bytes 255))) > #f > > Can anyone explain this to me?
