RE: [cdt-dev] Eclipse/CDT suppport for C/C++ sources in UTF-16character

["Schorn, Markus" <Markus.Schorn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The short answer is yes,

in detail:

 

For files that belong to the workspace the parser accesses the content via the resources plugin and thus uses whatever encoding is configured for the file.

 

For files that are outside of your workspace (and picked up via an include search path) the system default encoding

is used, which is obtained via 'System.getProperty( "file.encoding" )'

Subject: [cdt-dev] Eclipse/CDT suppport for C/C++ sources in UTF-16character encoding

I have a question about source file character encoding in Eclipse and CDT.  Does CDT support C/C++ source files in the UTF-16 character encoding?

I’ve been looking through the Eclipse and CDT documentation and have not been able to find a definitive answer.  I’ve found bits and pieces of info in the platform and debug support documentation, but nothing that pulls it all together.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Bill
