Has anyone noticed Xcode suddenly losing the text encoding of a
document with MacRoman characters? (specifically things like 'ƒ_sø').
It was the oddest thing, Xcode first gave 220 warnings about the
character, I closed the project and reopened it and the file and all
the non-ASCII characters had changed. I opened the file in BBEdit
and it too showed the encoding error. I eventually had to restore
the file from svn.
This is the first time this has ever happened to me and I wonder if
anyone else has seen it. (Xcode 3.1).
I have a lot of old PowerPlant sources that have a MacRoman bullet
character in the comments. Something like:
//
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// • GetParameters
//
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Older versions of Xcode (probably 2.4) changed the bullet to garbage
in some fraction of the source files. Since they were in comments I
didn't pay too much attention. In those files that were corrupted I
eventually converted the bullets to asterisks.
In looking at some of these files now Xcode 3.1 has the file encoding
set to MacRoman for both the files that were corrupted in the past and
ones that were never corrupted.
Not sure if that helps but yes it can corrupt MacRoman files. I guess
it prefers utf-8.
