Subject: [ruby-core:51019] [ruby-trunk - Bug #7593][Rejected] File encoding needs to be specified when using {Katakana} character property


Issue #7593 has been updated by naruse (Yui NARUSE).

Status changed from Open to Rejected

On 1.9.3, default source encoding is US-ASCII.
Regexp escape \p{foo} in US-ASCII is interpreted as POSIX character class foo.
In this case, US-ASCII doesn't have POSIX character class Katakana, so this will raise error.

On 2.0.0, default source encoding becomes UTF-8.
So this won't happen.

Bug #7593: File encoding needs to be specified when using {Katakana} character property
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7593#change-34921

Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p327 (2012-11-10 revision 37606) [x86_64-darwin12.0.0]


Creating a file with only the following line in it:

/\p{Katakana}/

will raise the error

katakana.rb:1: invalid character property name {Katakana}: /\p{Katakana}/

This can be resolved by specifying

# encoding: UTF-8

However, it was not obvious to me that this was needed.
