Hi Andrew,

If the character is part of the code (not a comment), the ignoring the codec error could silently produce the incorrect FW behavior.

I prefer a failure with a correct identification of the file/line # so the file can be fixed.

The EDK II CI checks will not allow files in with these types of issues.

Hi Tony,

I suspect that one of your UNI files being processed by StrGather has an invalid Unicode character in it.  Can you review the UNI files in the module that is being build when this error is generated?

I would be better if this code identified the file/line number with the issue, so that would be a good Bugzilla to enter.


Mike,

I hit something like this too writing some Python. I think I ended up telling the codec to ignore errors, so that might be another option? This I think the issue I saw was in C code.

Thanks,

Andrew Fish
