diff Parser/tokenizer.c @ 36809:2c2dffe070df legacy-trunk

Fix crashing bug in tokenizer, when tokenizing files with non-ASCII bytes but without a specified encoding: decoding_fgets() (and decoding_feof()) can return NULL and fiddle with the 'tok' struct, making tok->buf NULL. This is okay in the other cases of calls to decoding_*(), it seems, but not in this one. This should get a test added, somewhere, but the testsuite doesn't seem to test encoding anywhere (although plenty of tests use it.) It seems to me that decoding errors in other places in the code (like at the start of a token, instead of in the middle of one) make the code end up adding small integers to NULL pointers, but happen to check for error states before using the calculated new pointers. I haven't been able to trigger any other crashes, in any case. I would nominate this file for a comlete rewrite for Py3k. The whole decoding trick is too bolted-on for my tastes.
