From: "tenderlovemaking (Aaron Patterson) via ruby-core" Date: 2023-09-28T19:11:01+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:114911] [Ruby master Feature#19904] Deprecate or warn on multiple regular expression encodings Issue #19904 has been reported by tenderlovemaking (Aaron Patterson). ---------------------------------------- Feature #19904: Deprecate or warn on multiple regular expression encodings https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19904 * Author: tenderlovemaking (Aaron Patterson) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- It seems like you can pass multiple encoding flags to regular expression literals, but I think this should be a warning or possibly syntax error. For example: ```ruby x = /foo/nu p x.encoding ``` `n` says the RE should be ASCII-8BIT, and `u` says it should be UTF-8. The last flag wins, so in this case the regular expression gets UTF-8 encoding. However, I think it should be a warning or even a syntax error if you specify multiple encoding options on a regular expression. It seems like a mistake if programmers specify multiple.
