[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55452] fopen() does not support encoding argument

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #31, bug #55452 (project octave):

I rebased file #46480 to the current default branch and pushed it here:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/1c8b20731af4

"fgetl" and "fgets" with a "len" argument still need more thinking. Reading
the correct number of bytes from a source isn't trivial for variable-byte
encodings. Maybe file #46481 could be applied as an intermediate step to
support "fgetl" end "fgets" with one argument (and for encodings that use one
byte per character).

Interestingly, I have to specify the byte order for the UTF-16 examples in
Andrew's test suite or the tests fail (i.e. I have to rename those files to
include UTF-16BE).
I recently re-installed Ubuntu 19.04. Maybe that or some other changes on my
system might have caused this issue.
