Inserts string into the encoding converter. The string will be converted to the destination encoding and output on later conversions.

If the destination encoding is stateful, string is converted according to the state and the state is updated.

This method should be used only when a conversion error occurs.

Example

ec = Encoding::Converter.new("utf-8", "iso-8859-1")
src = "HIRAGANA LETTER A is \u{3042}."
dst = ""
p ec.primitive_convert(src, dst)    #=> :undefined_conversion
puts "[#{dst.dump}, #{src.dump}]"   #=> ["HIRAGANA LETTER A is ", "."]
ec.insert_output("<err>")
p ec.primitive_convert(src, dst)    #=> :finished
puts "[#{dst.dump}, #{src.dump}]"   #=> ["HIRAGANA LETTER A is <err>.", ""]

ec = Encoding::Converter.new("utf-8", "iso-2022-jp")
src = "\u{306F 3041 3068 2661 3002}" # U+2661 is not representable in iso-2022-jp
dst = ""
p ec.primitive_convert(src, dst)    #=> :undefined_conversion
puts "[#{dst.dump}, #{src.dump}]"   #=> ["\e$B$O$!$H".force_encoding("ISO-2022-JP"), "\xE3\x80\x82"]
ec.insert_output "?"                # state change required to output "?".
p ec.primitive_convert(src, dst)    #=> :finished
puts "[#{dst.dump}, #{src.dump}]"   #=> ["\e$B$O$!$H\e(B?\e$B!#\e(B".force_encoding("ISO-2022-JP"), ""]
