Subject: [PATCH] nls: remove "support" for 5- and 6-byte UTF-8 sequences
Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:26:44 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140728212643.GA27113@p183.telecom.by> (raw)
5- and 6-byte UTF-8 sequences existed to accomodate code points starting
from U+200000.
Those code points couldn't fit into old 2-byte wchar_t type.
Commit 74675a58507e769beee7d949dbed788af3c4139d added 16+ bit Unicode support
but started (correctly) to check for maximum valid code point
which is U+10FFFF.
U+10FFFF decodes into just 4-byte sequence.
5- and 6- byte UTF-8 sequences were made illegal long ago in
Unicode standard and never had a chance to be used in Linux,
so put them out of misery.
