[ruby-core:120059] [Ruby master Bug#20924] IO#readline ignores the limit argument when the encoding is UTF-32LE and the limit would split a character

Issue #20924 has been updated by javanthropus (Jeremy Bopp).


Note that replacing `#readline` with `#gets` in the examples causes the issue to be seen in all Ruby versions, including 3.3.6.

Bug #20924: IO#readline ignores the limit argument when the encoding is UTF-32LE and the limit would split a character
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20924#change-110797

* Author: javanthropus (Jeremy Bopp)

* ruby -v: ruby 3.4.0dev (2024-11-28T12:38:16Z master 3af1a04741) +PRISM [x86_64-linux]
* Backport: 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
```ruby
require 'tempfile'

Tempfile.open(binmode: true, encoding: 'utf-32le') do |f|
  f.write('0123456789')
  f.rewind

  # A limit that would truncate a character becomes completely ignored
  f.readline(3).bytesize  # => 40; should be 4
end

Tempfile.open(binmode: true, encoding: 'utf-32le') do |f|
  f.write('0123456789')
  f.rewind

  # A limit on character boundaries is respected
  f.readline(4).bytesize  # => 4
end

Tempfile.open(encoding: 'utf-8:utf-32le') do |f|
  f.write('0123456789')
  f.rewind

  # A limit that would truncate a character becomes completely ignored
  f.readline(3).bytesize  # => 40; should be 4
end

Tempfile.open(encoding: 'utf-8:utf-32le') do |f|
  f.write('0123456789')
  f.rewind

  # A limit on character boundaries is respected
  f.readline(4).bytesize  # => 4
end
```

This doesn't happen with UTF-32BE.  This also doesn't happen in Ruby 3.3, but it does happen in 3.4-dev and Ruby 3.0 - 3.2.
