Does anyone know what the status of UTF-8 in gcc is? On the version that comes with red hat 8, utf-8 still doesnt seem to work in identifiers.
The last I heard there were some proposals that involved supporting various multibyte encodings, or even locale based encoding support. It would be vastly simpler to simply rule that .c .cc .h etc, files are in utf-8 always, regardless of locale. (the same works for filesystem encodings, only utf-8 should ever exist in the filesystem for file and directory names) If arbitrary encodings are allowed it becomes an intractible mess, and invariably gets shelved, as it appears to be now... Is anyone actively working on this, or have any decisions been made? -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
