A question for Amplification of Rule 3.2.

[KumikoItoh]

I have a question for Amplification of Rule 3.2.

Your guideline has the following description in item "Amplification" of Rule 3.2.

"If the source file contains multibyte characters, they are converted to the source character set before any splicing occurs."

However, I did not understand the aim of this description well. Will you explain the details?

Especially, I do not understand why "multibyte characters" are related to "splicing".

Do you intend to explain the supporting case ,"multibyte characters including "\" character"?

I suppose it as follows.

"\" character included in "multibyte characters" is different from "line-splicing \",so there are not mixed.

For example,
uint16_t x=0; // 表
if( b)
{
x++;
}

Even If this character"表" incudes "\" character,
this "\" is not a meaning of "line-splicing".


Is this correct?

Please teach me.
