Shinmera: I've look into the issue a little bit. What do you think about the idea of signalling a warning when string-to-utf8 comes across invalid characters?
<Shinmera>
I honestly don't know. I don't like the idea of interrupting the workflow of the user with warnings when a string like that pops up.
<luis>
Interrupting in what sense?
<Shinmera>
But unless we can use WTF8, which probably has problems on the Emacs sense, I don't know what the right course would be.
<Shinmera>
In the sense that the warning seems out of left field. It's unlikely that the user will understand why they got the warning or what its significance is.
<luis>
Indeed.
<Shinmera>
After all, it could pop up randomly when sldb is invoked and some deep library code accidentally has a string like that.
<luis>
And at that point it's too late to pinpoint where the string came from, usually.
<Shinmera>
Right.
<luis>
Maybe Stas will have a brilliant idea. :)
<Shinmera>
I certainly wouldn't put it beyond him :)
