Tom Lane	1c54b93a8c	Avoid using non-ASCII commentary in daitch_mokotoff.c. Commit `d6b5dee42` failed to suppress that warning from MSVC, so let's just get rid of all non-ASCII glyphs in the comments. The comment for iso8859_1_to_ascii_upper[] is not essential, and the other cases can be handled by spelling out the Unicode character names. (I'm now really in the dark as to why MSVC doesn't complain about predicate.c's comment. But whatever.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1546512.1681495035@sss.pgh.pa.us	2 years ago
Tom Lane	d6b5dee42d	Remove some non-ASCII symbols from a comment. Buildfarm member hamerkop is unhappy that daitch_mokotoff.c "contains a character that cannot be represented in the current code page (932). Save the file in Unicode format to prevent data loss". There are a lot of non-ASCII characters in comments, but I do not see any outside a comment, so this is just cosmetic. Nonetheless the warning is fairly scary and people might waste time trying to understand the cause, so we ought to silence it. We have only one other occurrence of a non-ASCII character in .c or .h files in the tree: predicate.c mentions "Uwe Röhm". It's far from clear why hamerkop isn't complaining about that too; but it isn't, so maybe there is some special provision for accented Roman letters. We can remove the non-letter symbols from the comment for iso8859_1_to_ascii_upper without any real loss of usefulness, so let's try that first to see if it silences the warning.

Avoid using non-ASCII commentary in daitch_mokotoff.c.

Commit d6b5dee42 failed to suppress that warning from MSVC,
so let's just get rid of all non-ASCII glyphs in the comments.
The comment for iso8859_1_to_ascii_upper[] is not essential,
and the other cases can be handled by spelling out the
Unicode character names.

about predicate.c's comment.  But whatever.)

(932). Save the file in Unicode format to prevent data loss".  There
are a lot of non-ASCII characters in comments, but I do not see any

is fairly scary and people might waste time trying to understand the
cause, so we ought to silence it.
