I'm talking about Unix diff command. Of course it would report a diff on the #charset line but that doesn't really help at all if there's a 0xA4 character on line 4711 in both versions since diff doesn't know its interpretation varies with the charset.
Well, if you do
|#define EURO "\xa4" | |"blabla" EURO "blabla"
and then change the #define of EURO to "\x2122", diff will only report a change on the #define line, since diff doesn't know that the interpretation of EURO varies with the #define. Is this also a problem?
The gotcha was that you pointed to a ISO-8859-x encoding where Euro was included, but I now revised the example in 10728746 to use "\x2122" instead.
Then I can point you to e.g. iso-8859-supp instead. Or windows-1252 (already mentioned by yourself), macintosh (should be familiar to you :) etc.
Regardless, I'd rather see a discussion on the #multiline syntax than this sub-topic. If you still don't understand the example I can live with that.
If that is the case it is probably just because your examples have no connection whatsoever with reality. :-)
My view on #multiline syntax is as before: #%blabla blabla% where % can be picked semi-arbitraily and no escapes are recognized in blabla.
