Description of Change(s)
This change ensures that only continuation bytes (bytes that start with
10
) are consumed when incrementing. Consider an algorithm that searches for the ASCII character.
in a string. An algorithm that iterates over a UTF-8 string as bytes (using saystd::string::find
) would check each byte individually and always find any.
characters. An algorithm iterating over code points could miss a valid.
following an invalid incomplete 2, 3, or 4 character UTF-8 character sequence if continuations are not checked before incrementing.This change also changes encoding length checks to use ranges instead of shifting. In many compilers, the same or similar assembly is generated, but in gcc 9.3, shifting introduces an additional
movzx
. As that's the current compiler targeted by OpenUSD's linux build (and #2673 already made a similar switch from shift to range checks), it seems prudent to make a similar switch.Fixes Issue(s)
