FIX: Some Character Encoders Ignore Null Bytes (260823)

MORE INFORMATION

• Big5
• GB2312
• KSC5601

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Compile and run the sample code that is provided in this section.
2. Notice the null byte on the end of the array that is used to construct the Java string object. If you are running on a 3200 series Microsoft VM or earlier, the output will indicate a string length of "6" for the three defective encodings and "7" for the other two.

import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
public class EncodingTest2
{
  public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception
  {
    try 
    {
      String[] enc = {"Big5", "GB2312", "KSC5601", "ASCII", "UTF8"};
      byte[] data = {(byte)'s',(byte)'t',(byte)'r',(byte)'i',(byte)'n',(byte)'g',(byte)'\0'};
      
      for (int i = 0; i < enc.length; i++)
      {
        String tmpStr = new String(data, enc[i]);
        System.out.println("Encoding = "+enc[i]);
        System.out.println("\t\t\tString length = "+tmpStr.length());
        System.out.println();
      }
      System.in.read();
    }
    catch (UnsupportedEncodingException ex)
    {
      ex.printStackTrace();
      System.in.read();
    }
  }
}
