Devel GTK Non‐Ascii Characters

Non-Ascii causes compile issues

One should avoid having non-ascii characters in the code base as it brings up warnings in compilitations. This can happen if you copy and paste from some webpage.

This can lead to compilation issues like:

 /opt/public/hipp/homes/genie.cbi/workspace/cbi-swt-natives-linux- x86_64/eclipse.platform.swt.binaries/
 bundles/org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64/temp.folder/@dot.src/org/eclipse/swt/
 accessibility/AccessibleObject.java:46: warning: unmappable character for encoding ASCII
 // ATK_ROLE_TABLE_ROW was introduced in ATK 2.1.0. See Bug??470629  for details.
                                                            ^

Finding Non-Ascii characters

To check if you have ascii characters in your code base, you can use a script like:

 #!/bin/sh 
 cd "/home/lufimtse/git/eclipse.platform.swt"
 grep -r --color='auto' -P -n "[\x80-\xFF]" --include=*.java

Example use:

 # swtasciicheck 
 bundles/org.eclipse.swt/Eclipse SWT Accessibility/gtk/org/eclipse/swt/accessibility/AccessibleObject.java:46:     // ATK_ROLE_TABLE_ROW was introduced in ATK 2.1.0. See Bug 470629  for details
