[log4perl-devel] Perl warning when logging UTF-8 to screen

From: leon b. <log...@li...> - 2004-02-25 21:52:05

hi,

in Log4perl version 0.41:

when logging UTF-8 strings using the Screen appender, Log4perl prints
the following warning message:

"Wide character in print"

this can be fixed with the attached patch. i'm not sure if the bytes
pragma is supported in Perl earlier than 5.6 though.

regards,
leon

Hmm, I have difficulties reproducing this ... can you provide a test 
case? Which version of perl are you using?

i'm using Perl 5.8.1 on Fedora Core 1.

i've tried this test again on known-good UTF-8 after reverting my
changes to Screen.pm, and the problem seems to have disappeared, so i
suspect malformed UTF-8 character sequences in my test data (possible,
as I was copying and pasting the words) or sunrays bouncing off the
memory chips.

as a matter of interest, i've attached my test script and the file
containing the UTF-8 bytes.

sorry about the false alarm, still getting used to this Perl UTF-8
support :)

regards,
leon

These sunrays :). I'm glad it works -- changing the behaviour for 
multiple perl versions would have been quite a challenge. If you see any 
odd behaviour, let us know please ...

Thanks!
