--- Begin Message ---Package: guile-2.2 Version: 2.2.7+1-6 Severity: normal The guile-2.2(1) command-line interface is documented to take the filename of a script to execute. Here's how well it understands filenames: $ echo '(display "perplexity") (newline)' > $'foo\xf4\x90\x80\x80bar.scm' $ LC_ALL=de_DE.iso88591 guile-2.2 --no-auto-compile $'foo\xf4\x90\x80\x80bar.scm' 2>&1 | cat -v perplexity $ LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 guile-2.2 --no-auto-compile $'foo\xf4\x90\x80\x80bar.scm' 2>&1 | cat -v ;;; Stat of /home/zefram/tmp/g0/fooM-tM-^PM-^@M-^@bar.scm failed: ;;; Throw to key `decoding-error' with args `("scm_to_utf8_stringn" "invalid codepoint in string" 84 "/home/zefram/tmp/g0/foo\U110000bar.scm")'. Backtrace: 0 (primitive-load "/home/zefram/tmp/g0/foo\U110000bar.scm") ERROR: In procedure primitive-load: Throw to key `decoding-error' with args `("scm_to_utf8_stringn" "invalid codepoint in string" 84 "/home/zefram/tmp/g0/foo\U110000bar.scm")'. $ In this example I've created a script files, I've told guile-2.2(1) twice to run it, and on one of the two attempts it's signalled an error. (The --no-auto-compile option doesn't affect the substantive result, I'm just using it to avoid the noise that the caching system would otherwise make.) In the invocation that failed, one can see via strace(1) that guile-2.2(1) doesn't use the filename for any file operations at all; the error occurs at an earlier stage. The error thus doesn't depend on the file existing: if there is no file of that name then the same error occurs. This bug depends on the locale implied by the environment, and more specifically on the character encoding nominated by the LC_CTYPE component of the locale. Nominating a locale that's not installed behaves the same as nominating the C locale. Part of my example above depends on having the de_DE.utf8 and de_DE.iso88591 locales installed. If you don't have the specific locales that I used then you can get the same results as me by substituting an installed locale that nominates the same encoding. This bug occurs when the locale nominates the UTF-8 encoding and the supplied filename includes what looks like UTF-8 encoding of a codepoint outside the Unicode range. The filename as a whole doesn't need to have the syntax of UTF-8 encoding of text. (A different bug, Bug#1064444, occurs if this error is not hit and the filename does not have the syntax of locale-nominated encoding of text.) Preferably, guile-2.2(1) should use the script file specified on the command line, regardless of locale. It shouldn't be attempting to treat the filename as encoded text. Alternatively, if it cannot be made to handle arbitrary filenames, then this limitation must be documented. -zefram
