Subject: [ruby-core:109657] [Ruby master Bug#18973] Kernel#sprintf: %c allows codepoints above 127 for 7-bits ASCII encoding

Issue #18973 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).


@nobu Looks good to me, could you commit it?
(ARG_UNUSED is not needed on `code` I think)

----------------------------------------
Bug #18973: Kernel#sprintf: %c allows codepoints above 127 for 7-bits ASCII encoding
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18973#change-98880

* Author: andrykonchin (Andrew Konchin)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* ruby -v: 3.0.3
* Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
I've noticed the following behavior:

```ruby
sprintf("%c".encode("US-ASCII"), 128)
=> "\x80"

sprintf("%c".encode("US-ASCII"), 128).valid_encoding?
=> false
```

Specifying codepoints 128-255 for ASCII encoded formatting sequence leads to a broken string.

```ruby
sprintf("%c".encode("US-ASCII"), 255)
=> "\xFF"
sprintf("%c".encode("US-ASCII"), 256)
(irb):17:in `sprintf': 256 out of char range (RangeError)
```

Specifying codepoint greater that 255 causes the expected exception `out of char range`.

I suppose this exception should be raised for codepoints 128-255 as well (for ASCII encoding).
