[armedbear-devel] Reading a UTF-8 lisp source fails.

[Pascal J. Bourguignon]

My sources contain some non US-ASCII characters, so they're all
encoded in UTF-8.  However, loading them fails:


[pjb at kuiper :0.0 lisp]$ LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 abcl
Armed Bear Common Lisp 0.20.0
Java 1.6.0_22 Sun Microsystems Inc.
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM

CL-USER(1): (load"test-abcl-unicode.lisp")
Error loading /home/pjb/src/git/public/lisp/test-abcl-unicode.lisp at line 3 (offset 54)
#<THREAD "interpreter" {132021A}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type STREAM-ERROR

Restarts:
  0: TOP-LEVEL Return to top level.
[1] CL-USER(2): (quit)
[pjb at kuiper :0.0 lisp]$ 



What should I do to let abcl read them as UTF-8 and not try to convert
them into US-ASCII?


The test file is:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
;;;; -*- mode:lisp;coding:utf-8 -*-

(defvar *test* "45°")

;;;; THE END ;;;;
