[CLJ-924] Error reporting of invalid digit in unicode character literal

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 08:40:35 -0500

I ran across the following code when reading unicode character literals in readUnicodeChar(String token, int offset, int length, int base)

 
int d = Character.digit(token.charAt(i), base);
if(d == -1)
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid digit: " + (char) d);

Casting -1 to a char doesn't seem to produce anything useful. I'm guessing the appropriate code might look like

 
int d = Character.digit(token.charAt(i), base);
if(d == -1)
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid digit: " + token.charAt(i));

For comparison, the code in the other readUnicodeCharacter used when reading strings handles this correctly with:

int d = Character.digit(ch, base);
if(d == -1)
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid digit: " + (char) ch);
