Ok. I would suggest worth displaying the "st£ing" and say ‘st£ing’ was not a
valid identifier (Latin letter, underscore, or non-digit character) as per
C/C++ specs?
Example expected output:
$ g++ -Wall -o string string.cpp
string.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
string.cpp:8:5: error: ‘st£ing’ is not a valid identifier as contains non-latin
characters
st£ing buf;
^~~~~~
string.cpp:8:5: note: suggested alternative: ‘string’
st£ing buf;
^~~~~~
string
string.cpp:10:5: error: ‘buf’ was not declared in this scope
buf = "£"
^~~
