This way it always shows up in ccmake, even if not defined.
A string is used instead of path because I personally think it makes more
sense in the following use-cases:
STRING:
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/user -DCMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR=bins
installs everything to /home/user/{lib,etc,share,(...)} and executables to
${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bins
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/user -DCMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR=/opt/bin
everything to /home/user/{lib,etc,share,(...)} and executables to
/opt/bin
PATH:
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/user -DCMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR=bins
everything to /home/user/{lib,etc,share,(...)} and executables to
$(pwd)/bins (!)
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/user -DCMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR=/opt/bin
same as STRING
I was planning on adding VISCII support as well, but Python encode()
method does not have any support for it apparently, so I cannot generate
the proper statistics data with the current version of the string.
I disable only ISO-8859-15 which is similar to ISO-8859-1 for all
Spanish letters. Unfortunately illegal codepoints are similar too.
Difference should likely be done on symbols (like the euro symbol)
but our current algorithm does nothing about this for charset
comparison.
Text from https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/España
ISO-8859-2 and Windows-1250 are absolutely similar for all letters in
the Hungarian alphabet. So for most texts, it is not an error to return
one charset or the other.
What could make the difference is for instance that Windows-1250 has
some symbols where ISO-8859-2 has control characters, like quotes,
dashes, the euro symbol…
Since control characters have a negative impact on confidence now,
texts with such symbols would tend towards Windows-1250 decision.
The new test file has such quote symbols.
There is no "exception" in encoding. The non-breaking space 0xA0 is not
ASCII, and therefore returning "ASCII" will later create issues (for
instance trying to re-encode with iconv produces an error).
This was obviously an explicit decision in original code (according to
code comments), probably tied to specifity of the original program from
Mozilla. Now we want strict detection.
I will return "ISO-8859-1" for "nearly-ASCII texts with NBSP as only
exception" (note that I could have returned any ISO-8859 charsets since
they all have this character in common).
