Bug #1948: RDoc Fails with Non-ASCII Pathnames

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: drbrain (Eric Hodel)

=begin
rdoc fails when the pathname is non-ASCII. This happens with or without the 'charset' option set to UTF-8. For example:

$ cat möbius.rb

coding: utf-8

class Integer

 def mobius
   case
     when (self < 1)                 then nil
     when (square_free? and ω.even?) then 1
     when (square_free? and ω.odd?)  then -1
     when (not square_free?)         then 0
   end
 end

 alias :möbius :mobius
 alias :μ :mobius

end

$ rdoc möbius.rb

(I'm not sure whether to file RDoc bugs on the RubyForge tracker or here w.r.t 1.9. Apologies if I guessed wrongly.)

=begin
UTF-8 method names are checked in, but I did not test UTF-8 file name.

I still need to test that part.

UTF-8 file names appear to work correctly too.
