Follow-up Comment #2, bug #34486 (project gnustep): >historically non-ascii data in ObjC string constants has been disallowed
yes, historically, but this has been changed with Mac OS X 10.5 and i think GNUstep should follow here. source files are encouraged to be UTF-8 and objc string constants with special chars work now - though i couldn't find an official apple document encouraging it. but the fact that they changed things to make it work and Xcode also doesn't warn on this even with all warnings turned on - suggests its here to stay. > discouraged all uses of anything which implies a default C string encoding elsewhere yes but i think C string encoding is a completely different issue. anyway i think this shouldn't be that high priority. whats more disturbing is that even the workaround, manually specifying the unicode escape sequences doesn't work. e.g. [mybutton setTitle:@"Her name is Mu00E4dchen"]; // รค how is this done in gnustep? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?34486> _______________________________________________ Nachricht geschickt von/durch Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-gnustep mailing list Bug-gnustep@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnustep
