From b13e3eacefc0fb6f4f89738f74ba5ef14437bed5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Narebski Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2011 23:00:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: Fix fallback mode of to_utf8 subroutine e5d3de5 (gitweb: use Perl built-in utf8 function for UTF-8 decoding., 2007-12-04) was meant to make gitweb faster by using Perl's internals (see subsection "Messing with Perl's Internals" in Encode(3pm) manpage) Simple benchmark confirms that (old = 00f429a, new = this version): old new old -- -65% new 189% -- Unfortunately it made fallback mode of to_utf8 do not work... except for default value 'latin1' of $fallback_encoding ('latin1' is Perl native encoding), which is why it was not noticed for such long time. utf8::valid(STRING) is an internal function that tests whether STRING is in a _consistent state_ regarding UTF-8. It returns true is well-formed UTF-8 and has the UTF-8 flag on _*or*_ if string is held as bytes (both these states are 'consistent'). For gitweb the second option was true, as output from git commands is opened without ':utf8' layer. What made it work at all for STRING in 'latin1' encoding is the fact that utf8:decode(STRING) turns on UTF-8 flag only if source string is valid UTF-8 and contains multi-byte UTF-8 characters... and that if string doesn't have UTF-8 flag set it is treated as in native Perl encoding, i.e. 'latin1' / 'iso-8859-1' (unless native encoding it is EBCDIC ;-)). It was ':utf8' layer that actually converted 'latin1' (no UTF-8 flag == native == 'latin1) to 'utf8'. Let's make use of the fact that utf8:decode(STRING) returns false if STRING is invalid as UTF-8 to check whether to enable fallback mode.
