Extensions are not loaded as in utf8 encoding or charset

[HoffmannP]

I had to find out the hard way that extensions loaded in a strange encoding, but see for yourself:

<?php

# insert umlaute via extension
V8Js::registerExtension('extensionUtf8', "var extensionUtf8 = {umlaute: 'äöüßÜÄÖÜß'}", array(), true);
V8Js::registerExtension('extensionLatin1', iconv('utf8', 'latin1', "var extensionLatin1 = {umlaute: 'äöüßÜÄÖÜß'}"), array(), true);

# insert umlaute via php var
$jscript = new V8Js('php');
$jscript->umlaute = "äöüßÜÄÖÜß";

# insert umlaute via executeString
$jscript->executeString("var execStr = {umlaute: 'äöüßÜÄÖÜß'}");

# now show me
echo "\n";
$jscript->executeString('print("extensionUtf8: "); var_dump(extensionUtf8.umlaute)');
$jscript->executeString('print("extensionLatin1: "); var_dump(extensionLatin1.umlaute)');
$jscript->executeString('print("php: "); var_dump(php.umlaute)');
$jscript->executeString('print("execStr: "); var_dump(execStr.umlaute)');

# and finaly return  to php
echo "\n";
$jscript->executeString("values = {}");
$jscript->executeString("values['extensionUtf8'] = extensionUtf8.umlaute");
$jscript->executeString("values['extensionLatin1'] = extensionLatin1.umlaute");
$jscript->executeString("values['php'] = php.umlaute");
$jscript->executeString("values['execStr'] = execStr.umlaute");
$values = $jscript->executeString("values", V8Js::FLAG_FORCE_ARRAY);
echo "extensionUtf8: $values->extensionUtf8\n";
echo "extensionLatin1: $values->extensionLatin1\n";
echo "php: $values->php\n";
echo "execStr: $values->execStr\n";

This is what you might see:

extensionUtf8: string(36) "äöüßÜÄÖÜß"
extensionLatin1: string(18) "äöüßÜÄÖÜß"
php: string(18) "äöüßÜÄÖÜß"
string: string(18) "äöüßÜÄÖÜß"

extensionUtf8: äöüßÜÄÖÜß
extensionLatin1: äöüßÜÄÖÜß
php: äöüßÜÄÖÜß
string: äöüßÜÄÖÜß

And yes, my php is configured to use utf-8/unicode encoding/charset

interesting :-)

... anyways, you might not want to use extensions anymore anyways, snapshots are far better performance wise and commonjs module feature isn't slower performance wise yet has better error reporting

Won't fix, see discusssion above + extensions now marked deprecated (with pull #330)
