Subject: [ruby-core:19337] [Bug #647] Source encoding not applied to 7-bit regular expressions

Bug #647: Source encoding not applied to 7-bit regular expressions
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/647

Author: Dave Thomas
Status: Open, Priority: Normal

# encoding: utf-8
"cat".encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
"������".encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
/cat/.encoding # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII>   # <<<<
:������.encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>

I was expecting the regular expression to be encoded the same way a  
string is.

Matz: Yes, it's a bug.  Thank you.
