<div class="">But unfortunately, in practice, there's no way to do that without making it expensive to bridge from Obj-C. Because, as you've demonstrated, you can create NSStrings that contain things that aren't actually valid unicode sequences, every single bridge from an NSString to a String would have to be checked for validity. Not only that, but it's not clear what the behavior would be if an invalid string is found, since these bridges are unconditional - would Swift panic? Would it silently replace the invalid sequence with U+FFFD? Or something else entirely? But the question doesn't really matter, because turning these bridges from O(1) into O(N) would be an unacceptable performance penalty anyway.</div></div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Currently String replaces invalid sequences with U+FFFD lazily during access, but there are corner cases related to Objective-C bridging that can still leak invalid Unicode.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Dmitri</div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div>-- <br class=""><div class="gmail_signature">main(i,j){for(i=2;;i++){for(j=2;j<i;j++){if(!(i%j)){j=0;break;}}if<br class="">(j){printf("%d\n",i);}}} /*Dmitri Gribenko <<a href="mailto:gribozavr@gmail.com" target="_blank" class="">gribozavr@gmail.com</a>>*/</div>
