[ruby-core:115886] Re: Windows Ruby 3.2.2: Non-English character added to Windows Registry String Value

Hello,

This issue is resolved, if a change is made in
RUBYDIR\lib\ruby\3.2.0\win32\registry.rb to set termize=3D0 for type REG_SZ=
,
REG_EXPAND_SZ

    def write(name, type, data)

      termsize =3D 0
      case type
      when REG_SZ, REG_EXPAND_SZ
        data =3D data.encode(WCHAR)
        # Adding WCHAR_SIZE to data size causes garbage concatenated to
data in the Windows Registry:
        #termsize =3D WCHAR_SIZE
...
      API.SetValue(@hkey, name, type, data, data.bytesize + termsize)

The string data in the Windows Registry does not have junk added after
making this code change.

Is this fix correct?

Can the owner of registry.rb please respond?

Thanks.
