Bug ID: 104906
Summary: UTF-8 bytes output in diagnostic regardless of locale
Product: gcc
Version: 12.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: diagnostic
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: roland.illig at gmx dot de
CC: egallager at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
>From cp/module.cc:
inform (loc, "compiler is %sversion %s%s%s",
IS_EXPERIMENTAL (my_ver) ? "experimental " : "",
my_string,
reject_p ? "" : flag_module_version_ignore
? ", be it on your own head!" : ", close enough?",
reject_p ? "" : " \xc2\xaf\\_(\xe3\x83\x84)_/\xc2\xaf");
Are you sure that you want to output this UTF-8 sequence in locale "C"?
Furthermore, the conditional strings must be translatable. See the GCC
diagnostics guidelines for more information.
What would happen if this diagnostic were printed in an EBCDIC environment?
Might the UTF-8 sequence "\xe3\x83\x84" show up as "Tcd" there?
