Therefore #basicNext is expected to return a Character, provided the stream is not binary. This is why the #isBinary check is the first thing the method does. If there are plans to make TextConverters work with more general streams, then I persume these changes won't be enough.

Yes and no. There are at least two ways to go: 1. Enhance the current stream library, even at the cost of breaking things. A patch here and there won't work. There are fundamental changes required, like stackable streams, to make it desirable to use it over other libraries. 2. Integrate an existing stream library with better features (e.g. Xtreams) If we were to do this, we could gradually migrate existing code to the new library, and finally make the current stream library unloadable.

To _not_ limit the receiver. Because the receiver isn't actually a Character, but some number, encoded in a Character, whose meaning is to be determined by this very method. Also, how do we know that _basic_Next will always return a Character? (Yes, I know there's a binary check, but doesn't that only say something about #next, not #basicNext?) >> >>> If there are plans to make TextConverters work with more general streams, then I persume these changes won't be enough. >> >> Clearly. >> But isn't this a step in the right direction? > > Yes and no.

I like the idea of Xtreams, but I also like going baby steps. The changes here help at least one person, won't hurt others and seem future proof. So?

Below as a comparison the version in Pharo 5.0.
Noteworthy to say is that one can not speak about characters in an UTF8 encoded stream which is read byte by byte until one has examined the bytes. So if I read the first thing it is actually a byte. Then I can examine if it is a one-byte character and then return the character. Then I go for the next byte. If it indicates that we have a two byte encoded UTF8 character then I can return the character. So I should have byte1 := aStream basicNext. ... check if we have a one byte character, if yes return the character byte2 := aStream basicNext. ... check if we have a two byte character, if yes return the character byte3 := aStream basicNext. ... check if we have a three byte character, if yes return the character byte4 := aStream basicNext. ... check if we have a four byte character, if yes return the character nextFromStream: aStream | character1 value1 character2 value2 unicode character3 value3 character4 value4 | aStream isBinary ifTrue: [ ^ aStream basicNext ]. character1 := aStream basicNext. character1 isNil ifTrue: [ ^ nil ]. value1 := character1 asciiValue. value1 <= 127 ifTrue: [ "1-byte character" ^ character1 ]. "at least 2-byte character" character2 := aStream basicNext. character2 isNil ifTrue: [ ^ self errorMalformedInput ]. value2 := character2 asciiValue. (value1 bitAnd: 16rE0) = 192 ifTrue: [ ^ Unicode value: ((value1 bitAnd: 31) bitShift: 6) + (value2 bitAnd: 63) ]. "at least 3-byte character" character3 := aStream basicNext. character3 isNil ifTrue: [ ^ self errorMalformedInput ]. value3 := character3 asciiValue.

In reply to this post by Levente Uzonyi
Well, the alternative to exploiting polymorphy like in the patch would
be to have a nearly identical bunch of "TextConverter" classes that can read from binary streams and answer characters (like the Zinc UTF8 "Encoder" that also happens to have decoding methods). But most of the code would be duplicated with the existing TextConverters, so I think it is the worse solution. IMHO, a fundamental thing such as a text encoding interpreter that is shipped with a standard library should not be restricted by "it was only designed to be used with consumer xyz". The TextConverter hierarchy is neither marked as internal/private in Multilingual by a category, nor by any comments, nor do the class names suggest coupling to the MultiByte*Streams. If I were to commit this thing from scratch, I would even drop the support for returning the bytes as they are if the source stream #isBinary, because it has nothing to do with text conversion. Instead, do not use a TextConverter, if you do not want the bytes converted. But, as Levente already wrote, we can not do this without a larger refactoring and compatibility issues.

To have duplicate classes or even hierarchies for some time is necessary if you want to do changes which cannot be done incrementally. See for example the class CrLfFileStream and the subclass HtmlFileStream which are both in the package '51-Deprecated-Files-Kernel'. Class comment of CrLfFileStream states 'This class is now obsolete, use MultiByteFileStream instead.' This can be carried further ...

Sure, but in the restricted case of this patch, I think it is not necessary because the behavior should not change in the traditional case where basicNext does indeed return characters if the stream is in text mode. Nothing should be broken. I acknowledge that this patch alone is not all that useful for the Multilingual package itself, but it is useful for reusing the UTF8TextConverter to read from other binary streams (especially if such a stream cannot be switched to a text mode at all). > > See for example the class CrLfFileStream and the subclass > HtmlFileStream which are both in the package > '51-Deprecated-Files-Kernel'. > > Class comment of CrLfFileStream states > 'This class is now obsolete, use MultiByteFileStream instead.' > > This can be carried further ... > > An option is as well to consider porting the Zinc UTF8 class(es). Have not tried it, but probably one can just load and start to use it right away if it fits. The actual UTF8 decoding and encoding implementation is probably very similar, the important difference is only in the interface (including expected types). But I do not want to have to copy a class from Pharo to get text conversion from a binary-only stream going in Squeak... For a library, the additional dependency should be avoided as well. > > >> >> IMHO, a fundamental thing such as a text encoding interpreter that is >> shipped with a standard library should not be restricted by "it was >> only designed to be used with consumer xyz". > Yes. > >> The TextConverter >> hierarchy is neither marked as internal/private in Multilingual by a >> category, nor by any comments, nor do the class names suggest coupling >> to the MultiByte*Streams. > > The TextConverter hierarchy is in the 'Multilingual' category. Yes, it is, but from a documentation point of view, the TextConverters are no more private to the Multilingual package than the MultiByte*Streams are. Of course, TextConverters and MultiByte*Streams must not cease to be compatible with one another. > > >> If I were to commit this thing from scratch, I would even drop the >> support for returning the bytes as they are if the source stream >> #isBinary, because it has nothing to do with text conversion. > >> Instead, >> do not use a TextConverter, if you do not want the bytes converted. > > I do not understand: why would I want to use a TextConverter if I am > reading a binary stream. Exactly my point! :-) Currently, both MultiByteStream implementations always do self converter nextFromStream: self in #next, even if the stream is in binary mode. That's why the text converter currently has to check if the stream is in binary mode, and if it is, skip the text conversion and pass through the bytes uninterpreted. I would expect that the text converter were not used at all when the stream is binary. For a different answer to the question "Why would I want to use a TextConverter if I am reading a binary stream", go back to my previous paragraphs: You need one if the data in the stream is actually text and you know the encoding format, but the stream can only return bytes.
