zt_pack_rune — pack a character into a variant
Contents
Description
zt_pack_rune packs a rune, as well as the string describing the expression evaluated to obtain it, into a
variant-like zt_value. The source argument is retained by the value and is typically a constant string
literal produced by the preprocessor.
Runes are generalized characters. Unlike char, they are never negative and can be though of as Unicode
code points.
History
zt_pack_rune first appeared in libzt 0.1
Implementation Notes
zt_pack_rune() compensates for signed negative characters by masking them with 0xFF.
