UTF8ToConsole bug #10
Open
Description
There is a problem with UTF8ToConsole
on my Windows 10.
I live in Switzerland, but Windows is set to English, and chcp
displays 437 as my active codepage.
The following program:
uses LazUTF8, Crt;
var
S: String;
begin
Writeln('Writing the name from a string literal: "Jérémie"');
// ^ garbage
Writeln('Converting UTF-8 string to console (should be implicit?): "', UTF8ToConsole(S), '"');
// ^ garbage
Writeln('Converting UTF-8 string to Windows CodePage: "', UTF8ToWinCP(S), '"');
// ^ TODO: works, but how to make it portable?
ReadKey;
end.
produces the following output:
Writing the name from a string literal: "Jérémie"
Converting UTF-8 string to console (should be implicit?): "Jérémie"
Converting UTF-8 string to Windows CodePage: "Jérémie"
The strange thing is that UTF8ToConsole
immediately calls UTF8ToWinCP
, which (as demonstrated by the last test case, and also verified using the debugger) produces the right result. The remaining code of UTF8ToConsole
however then further processes that result, so that the end result is wrong.
