Re^3: :utf8 I/O layer vs encoding(UTF8), segfault and speed

What I mean is are the errors separate from encoding problems

I only see two types of errors: "utf8 "\x.." does not map to Unicode", and "Malformed UTF-8 character (...details...)", both of which indicate encoding problems due to malformed input.

I'm obviously missing something. I know the input is not correctly utf8 encoded. If :utf8 I/O layer only sets the internal utf8 flag and does not check the encoding then why am I getting encoding errors?	[reply]

Just because the :utf8 I/O layer only sets the flag doesn't mean subsequent operations were disabled from spitting out their regular warnings when encountering junk data...	[reply]
