[pushed] diagnostics: special-case -fdiagnostics-text-art-charset=ascii for LANG=C
Checks
Commit Message
In the LWN discussion of the "ASCII" art in GCC 14
https://lwn.net/Articles/946733/#Comments
there was some concern about the use of non-ASCII characters in the
output.
Currently -fdiagnostics-text-art-charset defaults to "emoji".
To better handle older terminals by default, this patch special-cases
LANG=C to use -fdiagnostics-text-art-charset=ascii.
Successfully bootstrapped & regrtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
Pushed to trunk as r14-4669-g04013e4464020b.
gcc/ChangeLog:
* diagnostic.cc (diagnostic_initialize): When LANG=C, update
default for -fdiagnostics-text-art-charset from emoji to ascii.
* doc/invoke.texi (fdiagnostics-text-art-charset): Document the above.
