PYTHONIOENCODING is already specified in `lit.cfg`. The change that
added this also added the `<`, which is what actually made this pass -
PYTHONIOENCODING only overrides the encoding of stdin/stdout/stderr.
The code of `ScanDependencies.cpp` was creating invalid JSON since #66031
because in the case of having `extraPcmArgs` and `swiftOverlayDependencies`,
but not `bridgingHeader`, a comma will not be added at the end of
`extraPcmArgs`, creating an invalid JSON file. Additionally that same PR
added a trailing comma at the end of the `swiftOverlayDependencies`, which
valid JSON does not allow, but that bug was removed in #66366.
Both problems are, however, present in the 5.9 branch, because #66936
included #66031, but not #66366.
Besides fixing the problem in `ScanDependencies.cpp` I modified every test
that uses `--scan-dependencies` to pass the produced JSON through
Python's `json.tool` in order to validate proper JSON is produced. In
most cases I was able to pipe the output of the tool into `FileCheck`,
but in some cases the validation is done by itself because the checks
depend on the exact format generated by `--scan-dependencies`. In
a couple of tests I added a call to `FileCheck` that seemed to be
missing.
Without these changes, two tests seems to be generating invalid JSON in
my machine:
- `ScanDependencies/local_cache_consistency.swift` (which outputs `Expecting ',' delimiter: line 525 column 11 (char 22799)`)
- `ScanDependencies/placholder_overlay_deps.swift`
When outputting strings for things like filenames, using `write_escaped` will result in Unicode characters being outputted with a full 3-character-octal or hex escape. Clients which expect a UTF-8 JSON output will not be able to parse such escape sequences.
