           Summary: non-ASCII characters treated as errors even in comments
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: java
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: bero at arklinux dot org
                CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org

gcj treats non-ASCII characters (e.g. German umlauts) as errors even if they're 
used in comments. 
 
Verified in 3.3 branch and HEAD. 
 
e.g. OpenOffice uses umlauts in comments in Java code; therefore I assume the 
Sun JDK handles them as expected. 
 
Test case: 
 
// Test äöüß 
class test { 
	public static void main(String[] args) { 
		System.out.printtln("Test"); 
	} 
}
