[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #64330] Problem loading an empty file in the editor

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #64330 (project octave):

The issue with the spinning wheel might be fixed with the attached patch. Some
more clean-up action might still be needed in that error state though.

I'm not sure why that error occurs in the first place though. We are calling
our wrapper for gnulib's u16_conv_from_encoding which doesn't do anything
fancy. But it seems to be failing for some reason.

IIRC, I replaced that conversion from a Qt implementation to gnulib. That was
done in order to make that section of the code compatible with Qt6 which
removed most of the encoding conversion facilities.

Maybe, we could try to skip the whole conversion attempt if we already know
that the file is empty...
