Manuel López-Ibáñez <manu at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |manu at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #5 from Manuel López-Ibáñez <manu at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-08-04 12:18:19 UTC --- GNU Emacs 23.2.1 counts it as two, and puts the cursor at s. For the simpler case of: /* ñ */ asdf; we print test.c:3:10: error: ‘asdf’ was not declared in this scope whereas emacs counts only 1 char, so it again puts the cursor at s. I am not sure whether Emacs is following some GNU standard, but the case of ñ versus n, should at least produce the same result. Unfortunately, I don't have time to work on this.
