From: "ko1 (Koichi Sasada)" Date: 2013-02-17T14:13:23+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:52328] [ruby-trunk - Bug #7845] Strip doesn't handle unicode space characters in ruby 1.9.2 & 1.9.3 (does in 1.9.1) Issue #7845 has been updated by ko1 (Koichi Sasada). Subject changed from Strip doesn't handle unicode space characters in ruby 1.9.2 & 1.9.3 (does in 1.9.1) to Strip doesn't handle unicode space characters in ruby 1.9.2 & 1.9.3 (does in 1.9.1) Category set to M17N Assignee set to naruse (Yui NARUSE) ---------------------------------------- Bug #7845: Strip doesn't handle unicode space characters in ruby 1.9.2 & 1.9.3 (does in 1.9.1) https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7845#change-36371 Author: timothyg56 (Timothy Garnett) Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: naruse (Yui NARUSE) Category: M17N Target version: ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p286 (2012-10-12 revision 37165) [x86_64-linux] Strip and associated methods in ruby 1.9.2 and 1.9.3 do not remove leading/trailing unicode space characters (such as non-breaking space \u00A0 and ideographic space \u3000) unlike ruby 1.9.1. I'd expect the 1.9.1 behavior. Looking at the underlying native lstrip! and rstrip! methods it looks like this is because 1.9.1 uses rb_enc_isspace() whereas 1.9.2+ uses rb_isspace(). 1.9.1p378 :001 > "\u3000\u00a0".strip => "" 1.9.2p320 :001 > "\u3000\u00a0".strip => "�����" 1.9.3p286 :001 > "\u3000\u00a0".strip => "�����" -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
