Problem Compiling with Unicode Support


Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if this is a AutoIt problem or a AutoIt3Wrapper problem, but I'm having trouble getting a unicode file to compile properly.

I use the "Omega" symbol in my code. In ANSI, this looks like "Ω" (0xCEA9) and in Unicode it looks like "Ω".

If I run the script from SciTE (F5/"Go") everything works properly.

However, when I compile (Ctrl+F7) something converts the "Ω" or "Ω" to the letter "O". This affects both the source au3 file as well as the output exe. Also, if the source file is UTF8-BOM, then the file gets converted back to Code Page Property when you compile.

Although it affects the file that I'm compiling, it does not affect the #include files.

So as a workaround, I created a wrapper for my main au3 file that just has #AutoIt3Wrapper stuff and a #include of my main file. This fixed the problem. But it would be nice if I didn't have to do that.

File 1: unicodeproblem.au3

MsgBox(0,"Unicode Test","Ω")

File 2: unicodewrapper.au3

#include "unicodeproblem.au3"

Try running (F5) and compiling (Ctrl+F7) these two files and see if you run into the same problem.

Definitely not.

Your source is _not_ UTF8+BOM is that case. You need to change the encoding and _then_ to apply any change then save it.

Have you tried it?

At first I thought you got me on that one, because it turns out that changing the Encoding in SciTe doesn't qualify as a change to the file (or put an "asterisk" in the title bar), so then saving the "changed" file didn't actually save it.

But then I actually saved it, closed the file, reopened it (and it showed UTF+BOM). Then when I compiled the file to an exe it reverted.

If I never had tried it, I'd never be that positive!

You must be using some compiler option. There is no reason the wrapper would rewrite the source by itself.

Download the files below to see by yourself that using F7 (Build) does work as expected.

I just tried it. Run (F5) and Build (F7) both work properly, but Compile (Ctrl-F7) with default settings turns the Encoding into Code Page Property.

As a result, the source code looks like this:

Local $str[10] = [ _
  "Sant Julià de Lòria", _
  "Skrýchov u Oparan", _
  "Žíšov", _
  "??????? ???????", _
  "??????-???", _
  "??????", _
  "????", _
  " ?????? ?????", _
  "??? ???????? ?? ???? ?? ???????? ?? ????? ??? ??????? ??????????? ?? ?????? ??????? ??? ?????? ?????? ?? ?????????? ?? ??? ?? ?? ?????? ?????? ??????? ?? ??? ?? ?????? ???? ???????", _
  "????????????????????????" _
]

For $s In $str
    MsgBox(0, "Unicode test", $s)
Next

The compiled exe shows the question marks as well.

It doesn't do that on my plain vanilla standard install with plain vanilla standard compile settings.

Can you tell us which compile option you use? It would greatly help resolution.

Do you use Increment file version or similar option?

Cut & paste the compile report as I did.

I'm using vanilla install with vanilla settings as well. I guess I am also using the AutoIt Script Editor (customized SciTe editor).

For the example file that you posted, I didn't use any compiler options. No #AutoIt3Wrapper directives get added when I compile.

Here is my log file...

There are two important differences between my compile and yours:

The "1 Change(s) made." line shows that the wrapper has been instructed to perform a change in the source file. This is most probably the "Increment file version" feature being actuve.

I had this very same issue for this reason and we worked out cyhanges in the wrapper to take care of original source file encoding in this case. That's the reason for the difference in wrapper version.

Either check "Don't change" in the "File Version" group and remove other source-updating option(s) or use the latest wrapper build. You can probably use the one bundled in the current beta version.

I can't figure out of the blue which option was being set that caused the "1 change(s) made" but it's that one which made the wrapper rewrite the source, ignoring the original file encoding.

Jos would easily point out which option cause this rewrite outside the File Version one. I don't have enough Wrapper-Fu myself to guide you there.

Anyway, since upgrading solved the issue I wish you best of luck in your work.

The old version of AutOit3Wrapper indeed had this issue with giving "1 Change(s) made" in certain conditions, plus it did screw up encoding in that case.

The current version should fix all of this.

@Jos - the "current" version being 2.0.3.0, correct?

when running beta autoit with au3check 1.54.19.0, it's still reverting the script encoding back to ANSI (code page default) and giving "1 change made" if set as UTF8 with BOM (verified with NP++)

this happens even with "code.page=65001" in global ops

if just UTF8 it doesn't do this, though i'm not sure how au3check is running at all since it's not supposed to support unicode,is it?

another thing i'm seeing here is, again, even with "code.page=65001" set, new documents created from within scite are ANSI encoded

PM me a file that I can test with and the exact steps you go through.

Assume you do Ctrl+F7 in SciTE showing the Options menu first?

Also am not sure what the relation is to au3check..

i can do that, but i'm not sure it will be helpful - i'd be sending a blank .au3 script - i think you may just need the steps to reproduce (but i'll gladly send a test file if you want)

i'm using a fresh install of autoit beta, wrapper 2.0.3.0, scite 2.27 with a default config (i set the code.page back to default)

  • create a new, empty .au3 (ctrl+n)
  • change encoding to UTF8 - no BOM
  • add a char or space so you can save
  • ctrl+F7 > uncheck option to run au3check > click "save only"
now check encoding again... should change from UTF8 to default - i can verify this with NP++ which will detect ANSI

i'm not sure it's au3check that's changing the encoding - i can run au3check on the [empty] script and it doesn't change the encoding

it seems that selecting/deselecting the option to run au3check triggers somehting

here's the console output after unchecking option to run au3check and saving...

note also that when i installed autoit beta, i chose all defaults (x86 tools, not x64)

Ok, You said before UTF8 With BOM.

There is no easy way to detect a UTF8 without BOM and I don't know of a simple way to build support for that.

ah, yeah i did and now i'm not completely sure if i was actually setting it with BOM - i can't reproduce it now (with BOM)
