Subject: [ruby-core:39117] [Ruby 1.9 - Bug #5232] Encoding of Date#to_s


Issue #5232 has been updated by Yui NARUSE.


I doubt that it must be default internal encoding.

When Encoding.default_internal is set, strings should be ASCII-8BIT (its content is binary), US-ASCII,
or default internal encoding.

Is there a reason why you think it should be default internal encoding?

Bug #5232: Encoding of Date#to_s

Author: Aaron Patterson
Status: Open
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: M17N
Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.4dev (2011-08-26 trunk 33073) [x86_64-darwin11.1.0]


The encoding of Date#to_s should respect Encoding.default_internal.

Here is the behavior today:

irb(main):001:0> require 'date'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Date.today.to_s.encoding
=> #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
irb(main):003:0> Encoding.default_internal = Encoding::UTF_8
=> #<Encoding:UTF-8>
irb(main):004:0> Date.today.to_s.encoding
=> #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
irb(main):005:0>

Here is the behavior I expect:

irb(main):001:0> require 'date'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Date.today.to_s.encoding
=> #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
irb(main):003:0> Encoding.default_internal = Encoding::UTF_8
=> #<Encoding:UTF-8>
irb(main):004:0> Date.today.to_s.encoding
=> #<Encoding:UTF-8>
irb(main):005:0>

I've attached a patch that fixes this.
