For those of us who use sam [on unix] in latin-1 environments UTF is
a real problem.
Yes, I'd like to use Plan 9 UTF everywhere, but it's not really an
option given I edit everything with sam and smashing latin-1 files
is not an option.
What follows is the least odious hack (tm) for pure unix environments;
it's pretty much a compile time decision. Recall that both sam
and samterm use Runes and adding extra command line options or
changing the sam/samterm protocol are much worse options.
I could have played tricks with the Rune constants, but I thought
that would just degrade the code, confuse the issue and generally
mess things up, so I added a very visually obvious #define:
% diff -e libXg/OLDrune.c libXg/rune.c
204c
if(LATIN_1_OK(c) || c < Runeself) {
.
173c
if(LATIN_1_OK(c) || c < Runesync) /* not part of utf
sequence */
.
157c
if(LATIN_1_OK(c) || c < Tx)
.
139c
if(LATIN_1_OK(c) || c <= Rune1)
.
96c
if(LATIN_1_OK(c) || c <= Rune1) {
.
41c
if(LATIN_1_OK(c) || c < Tx) {
.
5a
#define LATIN_1_OK(c) ((c) <= 0xFF)
.
