Error decoding UTF8 Russian text to UTF-16LE on Windows, but specifically on
platforms without iconv support (the default on Windows).
Valid UTF8 characters are flagged as being overlong and then substituted by the
UNKNOWN_UNICODE character.
After studying the testiconv.c example program, reading the RFCs and putting
some printf statements in SDL_iconv.c the problem is in a test for 'Maximum
overlong sequences', specifically 4.2.1, which is carried out by the following
code:
} else if ( p[0] >= 0xC0 ) {
if ( (p[0] & 0xE0) != 0xC0 ) {
/* Skip illegal sequences
return SDL_ICONV_EILSEQ;
*/
ch = UNKNOWN_UNICODE;
} else {
if ( (p[0] & 0xCE) == 0xC0 ) { <<<<<<<< here
overlong = SDL_TRUE;
}
ch = (Uint32)(p[0] & 0x1F);
left = 1;
}
} else {
Here is the 2-byte encoding of a character in range 00000080 - 000007FF
110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
The line in question is supposed to be checking for an overlong sequence which
would be less than
11000001 10111111
which should be represented as a single byte.
BUT, the mask value (0xCE) is wrong, it isn't checking the top-most bit:
11000001 value
11001110 mask (incorrect)
^
and should be (0xDE):
11000001 value
11011110 mask (correct)
making the above code:
} else if ( p[0] >= 0xC0 ) {
if ( (p[0] & 0xE0) != 0xC0 ) {
/* Skip illegal sequences
return SDL_ICONV_EILSEQ;
*/
ch = UNKNOWN_UNICODE;
} else {
if ( (p[0] & 0xDE) == 0xC0 ) { <<<<<<<< here
overlong = SDL_TRUE;
}
ch = (Uint32)(p[0] & 0x1F);
left = 1;
}
} else {
I can supply a test program and/or a patch if required,
best regards,

This line in SDL_iconv_string (src/stdlib/SDL_iconv.c) ...
if (!fromcode || !*fromcode) {
tocode = "UTF-8";
}
Is probably supposed to assign to "fromcode" and not "tocode".
Betreff: [SDL] [PATCH] Make static variables const
Datum: Tue, 19 May 2009 19:45:37 +0200
Hi,
this is a set of simple changes which make some of SDL's internal static
arrays constant. The purpose is to shrink the number of write-able
static bytes and thus increase the number of memory pages shared between
SDL applications.
The patch set is against trunk@4513. Each of the attached patch files is
specific to a sub-system. The set is completed by a second mail, because
of the list's 40 KiB limit.
The files readelf-r4513.txt and readelf-const-patch.txt where made by
calling 'readelf -S libSDL.so'. They show the difference in ELF sections
without and with the patch. Some numbers measured on my x86-64:

The size of the write-able data section decreased considerably. Some
entries became const-after-relocation, while most of its content went
straight into the read-only data section.
Best regards, Thomas
I'm not entirely happy with them. Maybe the right way to go is to leave
SDL_iconv() taking a non-const inbuf? How often are we converting const
strings anyway?
