Unicode in paths

Open dumbbell opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Currently, Unicode in paths is undefined behavior or defined as crashing behavior in some places :-).

It would be nice to improve this, at least to have a clear behavior even if it means some things are unsupported.

Unicode affects:

  1. the conversion back and forth between native and both string- and binary-based Unix-like paths
  2. name matching in the #if_name_matches{} and #if_path_matches{} conditions.

We can't really settle on e.g. UTF-8 encoding for binaries because it will impact users who put non-text binaries in node names. I didn't make my mind on this issue yet and would welcome any ideas!
