Hi,
I am trying to convert/import all of Iliad (since the development had moved to Pharo) and I stumble up-on an issue I already had when I tried to convert Aida.
This[1] monticello file in line 6417 starts to use UCS-4 for a string and then stops at some characters later. Importing the file using FileStream is failing in Pharo as well.
And how does monticello file it in then?!? I'm adding the Pharo list.
Monticello doesn't use the snapshot. The snapshot's stored in addition to the "real" MC stuff, containing the changes that the mcz defines.
It's sorta-kinda like the difference between your working copy and git diff HEAD HEAD^. MC uses the latter, the snapshot is the former.
But it's still a Pharo bug that the snapshot makes no sense, right? For GNU Smalltalk we can simply interpret a NUL as the first byte of an UTF-32BE character, and convert it to UTF-8. It's really ugly, but with a suitable comment it can work. Paolo
