Test::utf8 - handy utf8 tests
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# check the string is good
is_valid_string($string); # check the string is valid
is_sane_utf8($string); # check not double encoded
# check the string has certain attributes
is_flagged_utf8($string1); # has utf8 flag set
is_within_ascii($string2); # only has ascii chars in it
isnt_within_ascii($string3); # has chars outside the ascii range
is_within_latin_1($string4); # only has latin-1 chars in it
isnt_within_ascii($string5); # has chars outside the latin-1 range
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module is a collection of tests useful for dealing with utf8 strings in
Perl.
This module has two types of tests: The validity tests check if a string is
valid and not corrupt, whereas the characteristics tests will check that string
has a given set of characteristics.
=head2 Validity Tests
=over
=item is_valid_string($string, $testname)
Checks if the string is "valid", i.e. this passes and returns true unless
the internal utf8 flag hasn't been set on scalar that isn't made up of a valid
utf-8 byte sequence.
This should I<never> happen and, in theory, this test should always pass. Unless
you (or a module you use) goes monkeying around inside a scalar using Encode's
private functions or XS code you shouldn't ever end up in a situation where
you've got a corrupt scalar. But if you do, and you do, then this function
should help you detect the problem.
To be clear, here's an example of the error case this can detect:
my $mark = "Mark";
my $leon = "L\x{e9}on";
is_valid_string($mark); # passes, not utf-8
is_valid_string($leon); # passes, not utf-8
my $iloveny = "I \x{2665} NY";
is_valid_string($iloveny); # passes, proper utf-8
my $acme = "L\x{c3}\x{a9}on";
Encode::_utf8_on($acme); # (please don't do things like this)
is_valid_string($acme); # passes, proper utf-8 byte sequence upgraded
Encode::_utf8_on($leon); # (this is why you don't do things like this)
is_valid_string($leon); # fails! the byte \x{e9} isn't valid utf-8
=cut
sub is_valid_string($;$)
{
my $string = shift;
my $name = shift || "valid string test";
# check we're a utf8 string - if not, we pass.
unless (Encode::is_utf8($string))
{ return _pass($name) }
# work out at what byte (if any) we have an invalid byte sequence
# and return the correct test result
my $pos = _invalid_sequence_at_byte($string);
if (_ok(!defined($pos), $name)) { return 1 }
_diag("malformed byte sequence starting at byte $pos");
return;
}
sub _invalid_sequence_at_byte($)
{
my $string = shift;
# examine the bytes that make up the string (not the chars)
# by turning off the utf8 flag (no, use bytes doesn't
# work, we're dealing with a regexp)
Encode::_utf8_off($string); ## no critic (ProtectPrivateSubs)
# work out the index of the first non matching byte
my $result = $string =~ m/^($valid_utf8_regexp)*/ogx;
# if we matched all the string return the empty list
my $pos = pos $string || 0;
return if $pos == length($string);
# otherwise return the position we found
return $pos
}
=item is_sane_utf8($string, $name)
This test fails if the string contains something that looks like it
might be dodgy utf8, i.e. containing something that looks like the
multi-byte sequence for a latin-1 character but perl hasn't been
instructed to treat as such. Strings that are not utf8 always
automatically pass.
Some examples may help:
# This will pass as it's a normal latin-1 string
is_sane_utf8("Hello L\x{e9}eon");
# this will fail because the \x{c3}\x{a9} looks like the
# utf8 byte sequence for e-acute
my $string = "Hello L\x{c3}\x{a9}on";
is_sane_utf8($string);
# this will pass because the utf8 is correctly interpreted as utf8
Encode::_utf8_on($string)
is_sane_utf8($string);
Obviously this isn't a hundred percent reliable. The edge case where
this will fail is where you have C<\x{c2}> (which is "LATIN CAPITAL
LETTER WITH CIRCUMFLEX") or C<\x{c3}> (which is "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER
WITH TILDE") followed by one of the latin-1 punctuation symbols.
# a capital letter A with tilde surrounded by smart quotes
# this will fail because it'll see the "\x{c2}\x{94}" and think
# it's actually the utf8 sequence for the end smart quote
is_sane_utf8("\x{93}\x{c2}\x{94}");
However, since this hardly comes up this test is reasonably reliable
in most cases. Still, care should be applied in cases where dynamic
data is placed next to latin-1 punctuation to avoid false negatives.
There exists two situations to cause this test to fail; The string
contains utf8 byte sequences and the string hasn't been flagged as
utf8 (this normally means that you got it from an external source like
a C library; When Perl needs to store a string internally as utf8 it
does it's own encoding and flagging transparently) or a utf8 flagged
string contains byte sequences that when translated to characters
themselves look like a utf8 byte sequence. The test diagnostics tells
you which is the case.
=cut
# build my regular expression out of the latin-1 bytes
# NOTE: This won't work if our locale is nonstandard will it?
my $re_bit = join "|", map { Encode::encode("utf8",chr($_)) } (127..255);
sub is_sane_utf8($;$)
{
my $string = shift;
my $name = shift || "sane utf8";
# regexp in scalar context with 'g', meaning this loop will run for
# each match. Should only have to run it once, but will redo if
# the failing case turns out to be allowed in %allowed.
while ($string =~ /($re_bit)/o)
{
# work out what the double encoded string was
my $bytes = $1;
my $index = $+[0] - length($bytes);
my $codes = join '', map { sprintf '<%00x>', ord($_) } split //, $bytes;
# what character does that represent?
my $char = Encode::decode("utf8",$bytes);
my $ord = ord($char);
my $hex = sprintf '%00x', $ord;
$char = charnames::viacode($ord);
# print out diagnostic messages
_fail($name);
_diag(qq{Found dodgy chars "$codes" at char $index\n});
if (Encode::is_utf8($string))
{ _diag("Chars in utf8 string look like utf8 byte sequence.") }
else
{ _diag("String not flagged as utf8...was it meant to be?\n") }
_diag("Probably originally a $char char - codepoint $ord (dec),"
." $hex (hex)\n");
return 0;
}
# got this far, must have passed.

=head2 String Characteristic Tests
These routines allow you to check the range of characters in a string.
Note that these routines are blind to the actual encoding perl
internally uses to store the characters, they just check if the
string contains only characters that can be represented in the named
encoding:
=over
=item is_within_ascii
Tests that a string only contains characters that are in the ASCII
character set.
=cut
sub is_within_ascii($;$)
{
my $string = shift;
my $name = shift || "within ascii";
# look for anything that isn't ascii or pass
$string =~ /([^\x{00}-\x{7f}])/ or return _pass($name);
# explain why we failed
my $dec = ord($1);
my $hex = sprintf '%02x', $dec;
_fail($name);
_diag("Char $+[0] not ASCII (it's $dec dec / $hex hex)");
return 0;
}
=item is_within_latin_1
Tests that a string only contains characters that are in latin-1.
=cut
sub is_within_latin_1($;$)
{
my $string = shift;
my $name = shift || "within latin-1";
# look for anything that isn't ascii or pass
$string =~ /([^\x{00}-\x{ff}])/ or return _pass($name);
# explain why we failed
my $dec = ord($1);
my $hex = sprintf '%x', $dec;
_fail($name);
_diag("Char $+[0] not Latin-1 (it's $dec dec / $hex hex)");
return 0;
}
sub is_within_latin1 { goto &is_within_latin_1 }
=back
Simply check if a scalar is or isn't flagged as utf8 by perl's
internals:
=over
=item is_flagged_utf8($string, $name)
Passes if the string is flagged by perl's internals as utf8, fails if
it's not.
=cut
sub is_flagged_utf8
{
my $string = shift;
my $name = shift || "flagged as utf8";
return _ok(Encode::is_utf8($string),$name);
}
=item isnt_flagged_utf8($string,$name)
The opposite of C<is_flagged_utf8>, passes if and only if the string
isn't flagged as utf8 by perl's internals.
Note: you can refer to this function as C<isn't_flagged_utf8> if you
really want to.
=cut
sub isnt_flagged_utf8($;$)
{
my $string = shift;
my $name = shift || "not flagged as utf8";
return _ok(!Encode::is_utf8($string), $name);
}
sub isn::t_flagged_utf8($;$)
{
my $string = shift;
my $name = shift || "not flagged as utf8";
return _ok(!Encode::is_utf8($string), $name);
}
