cc-engine.el needs a coding: tag

cc-engine.el needs a coding: tag

[Miles Bader]

cc-engine.el uses some non-ASCII characters ("non-break space", in the
first comment in `c-looking-at-special-brace-list'), so it should really
have a -*- coding: -*- tag of some sort.

Thanks,

This list includes files with ASCII control characters
and non-ASCII characters.  Literal control characters
could be replaced with their equivalent "\^" syntax,
and non-ASCII characters require a -*- coding: -*- tag
whose value sometimes is not easy to guess, but usually
it is Latin-1.

They should perhaps be converted to utf-8.

Yes, it would be good to do that, although it's definitely not for 23.2
and is not urgent,

Or, perhaps better, replace those non-break spaces with fragile ones, and
then be careful that they don't, in fact, break.

As a matter of interest, how did you stumble upon this anomaly?

I had some local changes to cc-engine.el (basically just reverting some
of the recent changes that break indenting).  When updating, I got a
merge conflict, and used emacs to fix things -- and when saving the
file, emacs complained about non-encodable characters in the file
(because the file has no obvious coding system, the non-break-spaces got
read as binary characters).
