This PR will treat empty character literals as invalid syntax
and handle weird utf8 character literals like
'🎠'
correctly.The root cause was the casting from
char
toint
which created ints like0xFFFFFF9F
for a lexer char\x9F
. This was treated as negative and thus ignored by the lexer.This fixes #2198 in that it treats multi-byte input correctly byte by byte.
