Hi,
Manual page says:
-finput-charset=charset
Set the input character set, used for translation from the charac-
ter set of the input file to the source character set used by GCC.
If the locale does not specify, or GCC cannot get this information
from the locale, the default is UTF-8. This can be overridden by
either the locale or this command line option. Currently the com-
mand line option takes precedence if there's a conflict. charset
can be any encoding supported by the system's "iconv" library rou-
tine.
€ locale charmap
ISO-8859-15
My ISO-8859-15-encoded test.c:
#include <locale.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
setlocale(LC_ALL,"");
printf("|%lc|\n",L'ü');
return 0;
}
doesn't compile with a simple
$ gcc test.c -o test
test.c:5:19: error: converting to execution character set: Invalid argument
If I encode the file in utf-8, this works, whatever the current locale.
Apparently, the default is always utf-8. Gcc should use locale charset
as default input charset instead.
Regards,
Samuel
