Re: Problem with non-ascii filenames on a non utf-8 locale

[Michel Boaventura]

Well, I've fixed my VM. Here is what I've found about this bug:

Pspp really thinks the .sav file is a syntax because any_reader_may_open 
returns false.
It returns false because try_detect and fn_open also return false.
Finally, fn_open returns false because the fopen call (file-name.c:225) 
returns NULL.

To test this, I've put a printf before the fopen, which prints each char 
of the filename as
a integer. Then I try to open the same file using both File -> Open and 
the terminal. This
is what I get:

wrong: 92 104 111 109 101 92 109 105  99 104 101 108 92 110 195 163 111 
46 115 97 118
right: 92 104 111 109 101 92 109 105  99 104 101 108 92 110 227     111 
46 115 97 118
means:  \   h   o   m   e  \   m   i   c   h   e   l  \   n  atilde   o  
.   s  a   v

The two strings only differs on the non-ascii char. Notice that on the 
wrong string
two bytes are used to represent the atilde. This happens on Unicode. The 
right string
only uses one, which happens on ISO8859-1. So pspp is trying to open the 
file using a
utf8 string when it shouldn't.
