SKSL UTF*

[Clark Kent]

does SKSL and related methods (eg, SkRuntimeEffectBuilder::Uniform(char*) ) support UTF8 or only ANSI/ASCII ?

[Clark Kent]

also do any other methods across Skia support UTF8 or only ANSI/ASCII

also if UTF8 is supported, is UTF16/32 supported as well?

[Brian Osman]

SkSL only supports ASCII. This is partly because we never really considered supporting UTF-8, but also because the shaders are translated directly into other languages like GLSL, and those languages only support ASCII. Skia's actual text APIs (drawing text, for example) operate on UTF8. I don't think there are any public Skia APIs that accept UTF16 or UTF32.

Thanks, so would it be correct to assume all methods related to shaders that accept strings only take ascii?

Eg child names, uniform names, etc

eg, RuntimeShaderBuilder.uniform("UTF💭") = 5; //invalid uniform name
