This unfortunately isn't generally possible for a cross-platform IDE
like Eclipse CDT.

As long as GDB doesn't crash and still prints ASCII strings correctly,
it won't concern us. I mean, we didn't support any non-ASCII characters
at all until now within the CDT debugger. And I assume that ASCII
strings will always be printed correctly by GDB, even if the host
charset is set to UTF-8, since ASCII is just a subset of UTF-8.
What we're trying to find out is whether we should enable the debugger
charset support by default within future releases of Eclipse CDT or not.
If GDB is generally stable with using UTF-8 as host charset, we'd do so.
Can you give a recommendation?
Thanks,
Mathias
