This fixes a portability problem of + Tcl Modules pointed out by Don Porter. By using plain 'source' + we were at the mercy of 'encoding system', making modules less + portable than they could be. The exact scenario: A writes a TM + in some weird encoding which is A's system encoding, distributes + it, and somewhere else it cannot be read/used because the system + encoding is different. Forcing the use of utf-8 makes the module + portable. + + ***INCOMPATIBILITY*** for all Tcl Modules already written in + non-utf-8 compatible encodings. + 2008-03-18 Don Porter <dgp@users.sourceforge.net> * generic/tclExecute.c: Patch from Miguel Sofer to correct the diff --git a/library/tm.tcl b/library/tm.tcl index baf3667..aee74f5 100644 --- a/library/tm.tcl +++ b/library/tm.tcl @@ -254,7 +254,7 @@ proc ::tcl::tm::UnknownHandler {original name args} { # means something else without the namespace # specifier. - package ifneeded $pkgname $pkgversion [::list source $file] + package ifneeded $pkgname $pkgversion [::list source -encoding utf-8 $file] # We abort in this unknown handler only if we got # a satisfying candidate for the requested |
