I can see two cases: 1) The non-ascii sequence is valid UTF-8, then I guess your patch would show two characters instead of one. Not really correct, but not really serious either. 2) The non-ascii sequence is NOT valid UTF-8, then if I read correctly (I didn't test) utf8_width would set next to NULL, and then you are in big trouble. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
