When File.dirname()'s value is ".", the value is wrong encoded.

"." is 7bit only, it has no differences.

Why do you consider it wrong?

[[e-mail] (贾 延平)]

The rb_file_dirname should not return diffrent encoding string value just because the string's content diffrent.
And some other function like rb_file_expand_path will return the value with the input paramter's incoding,and the result is not 7bit string.

I did not write clear,the ".' having the encoding ascii-8bit not ascii-7bit，so it will be some problem.

Why ruby's default encoding is ascii-8bit not ascii-7bit,will we need the 8bit in there some condition?

[nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)]

rb_usascii_str_new2() makes a string in US-ASCII, which is 7bit.
