Hello-

The attached patch for libcpp adds support for extended characters (e.g. UTF-8)
in identifiers. A preliminary version of the patch was posted on PR c/67224 as
Comment 26 (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67224#c26) and
discussed with Joseph Myers. Here is an updated patch incorporating all
feedback received so far. I hope it is suitable now; please let me know if I
can do anything else to make it ready for you to apply. I am happy to work on
it further, whatever is needed. I can't easily test on anything other than
x86_64-linux though. I did bootstrap all languages and run all tests on that
platform, everything was good.

The (relatively short) changes to libcpp are included inline here. I attached
the test cases as a gzipped patch to avoid any problems with the encoding (the
test cases contain some invalid UTF-8 and also other encodings such as latin-1
as part of the testing).

Thanks for taking a look at it!

I'm a month behind on gcc-patches at present.  It will take me a while to 
get to this for detailed review.

Thanks, I think this is OK with a few updates to the documentation.  
Specifically:

cpp.texi says:

  In the 1999 C standard, identifiers may contain letters which are not
  part of the ``basic source character set'', at the implementation's
  discretion (such as accented Latin letters, Greek letters, or Chinese
  ideograms).  This may be done with an extended character set, or the
  @samp{\u} and @samp{\U} escape sequences.  GCC only accepts such
  characters in the @samp{\u} and @samp{\U} forms.

and it's no longer accurate to say that only the \u and \U forms are 
accepted.

cpp.texi, section "Implementation-defined behavior", discusses 
implementation-defined characters in identifiers.  It should say that GCC 
accepts exactly those multibyte characters that correspond to UCNs for 
characters permitted by the chosen version of the C or C++ standard.

cppopts.texi documents -fextended-identifiers as "Accept universal 
character names in identifiers.".  That needs to say the characters are 
also accepted directly in the identifiers.


I should also note that a few of the tests added by the test are testing 
things that are properties of the implementation that might arguably be 
bugs, rather than standard features, and so perhaps should at least have 
comments added saying they are testing those implementation properties.

gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/cpp/ucnid-7-utf8.c, testing invalid UTF-8, is relying 
on GCC, in its default -finput-charset=utf-8 mode, not actually checking 
that the input is valid UTF-8.  It's clear that avoiding such a check 
makes sense in strings and comments, both as a matter of efficiency and 
because it's likely to do the right thing for a lot of user programs that 
use non-UTF-8 character sets in those places and just need the bytes in 
the strings to be passed through to the compiler output (rather than 
requiring users to specify -finput-charset and -fexec-charset for those 
programs).  Outside those contexts it's less obvious what's the best way 
to behave (this sort of test, where the stray non-UTF-8 bytes are in text 
that disappears as a result of macro expansion, is certainly a corner 
case).

gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/cpp/ucnid-2-utf8.C and 
gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/cpp/ucnid-3-utf8.C are testing double stringizing in 
C++, where strictly the results they expect show that GCC does not conform 
to the C++ standard requirement to convert all extended characters to UCNs 
(because C++ does not have the special C rule making it 
implementation-defined whether the \ of a UCN in a string literal is 
doubled when stringizing).

Thanks for looking through this, I'm glad it will be acceptable. I
will make the documentation adjustments as you suggest.

Speaking of documentation, one other thing occurred to me. When I made
these changes, I tried to make them as minimally disruptive as
possible, so they are the smallest changes I could find to the current
overall architecture to make this work. As a result there are some
things that may be a little surprising. For instance, you can take a
UTF-8 encoded file and insert a backslash line continuation in the
middle of a multibyte sequence, and gcc will happily paste it back
together and then interpret the resulting UTF-8. I think it's
technically OK standardwise since the conversion from extended
characters to the source character set is implementation-defined, but
it's hardly a straightforward definition. It is sort of consistent
with the treatment of undefined behavior with UCN escapes though,
which gcc already permits to be pasted together over a line
continuation. Anyway, should this behavior be documented as well? I
doubt anyone would be happy with a full-blown solution that involves
doing the UTF-8 conversion at initial parse time, given how much of
the libcpp code is devoted to optimizing the performance of scanning
input files, so this is probably the way it's going to end up working
I presume.

My main reason for including this test was to demonstrate that
existing behavior is unchanged by the patch. If you think it makes
more sense, I could omit the test altogether, otherwise I will add a
comment like you suggested.

Thanks, I didn't mean to ignore this point when you made it on the PR
comments, I just wasn't sure what was the best way to handle it. Do
you find it preferable to just add a comment, or should I rather
change the test to look for the standard-confirming output, and make
it an XFAIL?

Finally, one general question, when I submit these last changes, is it
better to send them as a new patch relative to what I already sent, or
is it better to send the whole thing updated from scratch? Thanks
again.

I don't think that peculiarity should be documented.  (Whereas accepting 
arbitrary bytes inside comments and strings by default is arguably 
actually a feature.)

My inclination would be a comment, with reference to a bug filed for this 
issue in Bugzilla.

A complete patch that can be applied to trunk is best.

Attached is a single patch relative to current trunk that incorporates all of
your feedback. I gzipped it like last time just in case the invalid UTF-8 in
the tests presents a problem. The code changes are the same as before other
than comments.

The documentation is now updated... there were a couple other places that also
seemed reasonable to me to update, hope it sounds OK.

I also created the PR about UCN conversion (PR 91755) and added a reference in
the comments for those tests.

Bootstrap was done on Linux x86-64, testing results:

before patch:
36 XPASS
72 FAIL
1452 XFAIL
9624 UNSUPPORTED
359529 PASS

after patch:
36 XPASS
72 FAIL
1452 XFAIL
9624 UNSUPPORTED
359633 PASS

Thank you.
