Thanks to Arnold Robbins 86 Consolidation of sub and gsub into dosub, removing duplicate 87 code. Thanks to Miguel Pineiro Jr. 88 gcc replaced with cc everywhere. 89 90Oct 30, 2023: 91 Multiple fixes and a minor code cleanup. 92 Disabled utf-8 for non-multibyte locales, such as C or POSIX. 93 Fixed a bad char * cast that causes incorrect results on big-endian 94 systems.

When --csv is enabled, fields are separated 114 by commas, fields may be quoted with " double quotes, fields 115 may contain embedded newlines. 116 117 If no explicit separator argument is provided, split() uses 118 the setting of --csv to determine how fields are split. 119 120 Strings may now contain UTF-8 code points (not necessarily 121 characters). Functions that operate on characters, like 122 length, substr, index, match, etc., use UTF-8, so the length 123 of a string of 3 emojis is 3, not 12 as it would be if bytes 124 were counted. 125 126 Regular expressions are processed as UTF-8. 127 128 Unicode literals can be written as \u followed by one 129 to eight hexadecimal digits. These may appear in strings and 130 regular expressions. 131
