[jira] Commented: (HARMONY-3702) [classlib][luni] Reader and Writer convert characters incorrectly

["Vasily Zakharov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Vasily Zakharov commented on HARMONY-3702:
------------------------------------------

I've checked the issue on the current build. The results are as follows:

WriterTest works identically on RI, Harmony/IBMVM and Harmony/DRLVM.

ReaderTest work differently on RI, Harmony/IBMVM and Harmony/DRLVM - the outputs are similar, but all three are different.

So, though HARMONY-3307 is now resolved, the problem still exists.

> java.io.Reader converts bytes to characters differently than RI does. Also, java.io.Writer converts characters to bytes differently than RI does.
> The attached test.dat file contains random test data and must be placed to the current directory. ReaderTest below reads that file with FileReader and then dumps it to standard output by converting each character to int. WriterTest reads the test.dat file with FileInputStream, converts each byte to character by casting and then dumps the resulting characters to standard output by OutputStreamWriter.
> public class ReaderTest {
>     public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
>         char[] buffer = new char[0x100000];
>         java.io.Reader reader = new java.io.FileReader("test.dat");
>         int length = reader.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length);
>         for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
>             System.out.println((int) buffer[i]);
>         }
>     }
> }
> public class WriterTest {
>     public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
>         byte[] buffer = new byte[0x100000];
>         java.io.InputStream iStream = new java.io.FileInputStream("test.dat");
>         int length = iStream.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length);
>         char[] charBuffer = new char[length];
>         for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
>             charBuffer[i] = (char) buffer[i];
>         }
>         java.io.Writer writer = new java.io.OutputStreamWriter(System.out);
>         writer.write(charBuffer, 0, length);
>         writer.close();
>     }
> }
> In both cases, output files on RI and on Harmony are different:
> $ RI/bin/java ReaderTest > reader.ri
> $ HY/bin/java ReaderTest > reader.hy
> $ diff --binary -q reader.ri reader.hy
> Files reader.ri and reader.hy differ
> $ RI/bin/java WriterTest > writer.ri
> $ HY/bin/java WriterTest > writer.hy
> $ diff --binary -q writer.ri writer.hy
> Files writer.ri and writer.hy differ
> My investigations show that the problem is in Reader/Writer, not in InputStream/OutputStream. Also, I've tried other implementations of Reader/Writer and they share the same problem.
> The problem was discovered on Windows XP/IA-32 but probably affects other platforms too.
