[eval] Unicode issue when splitting string

[markknol]

var inChars   = 'àáâãäçèéêëìíîïñòóôõöùúûüýÿ'.split('');
var outChars  = 'aaaaaceeeeiiiinooooouuuuyy'.split('');
trace(inChars.length, outChars.length);

Test case online https://try.haxe.org/#9B7E2 (works as expected)
In Haxe 3 --interp it logs 26,26 (works as expected)
In Haxe 4 Preview 3 --interp it logs 52,26 (unexpected length of first array)

I don't really understand why this used to work because it fails on neko as well. It also fails on php and lua.

Should be straightforward now with dual string implementation

[Simn]

Yes this works fine on the unicode branch. I still have no idea why it worked on the old interpreter, but whatever...

[axelhuizinga]

Are anywhere unicode builds available?

[Simn]

Not yet, but I'll merge the branch soon.

[Simn]

The branch has been merged and the test passes now.

Thanks for this! You rock!
