Compilation Failed With 'illegal character encoding in string literal'

[awt]

Hi,

I have the following string literal in my program:

"élève - à la façon - château"

Emscripten reports an error 'illegal character encoding in string literal' when it encounters the string above. Has anybody come across this before?

What is the exact output? It would help to know what reports the error - the clang frontend, emscripten backend, or another part of the toolchain.

This is the error that I saw in the compilation stage:

xxx.cpp:49:25: error: illegal character encoding in string literal

        StringClass dummyString(L"<E9>l<E8>ve - <E0> la fa<E7>on - ch<E2>teau");

Alon, it turns out that the source file that I was working on belongs to a Visual Studio project that was encoded with Windows-1252. I was able to pass compilation after saving the file with utf-8 encoding.

Thanks for the update. Looks like clang can't handle Windows-1252.
