Subject: bug#5050: 23.1; efiff: Displaying bytes instead of characters in messages
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2020 21:42:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87blj5ksso.fsf@gnus.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87imddtahz.fsf@gmx.net> (Stephen Berman's message of "Thu, 20 Aug 2020 20:53:12 +0200")

(defun ediff-exec-process (program buffer synch options &rest files)

[...]

	;; If this is a buffer job, we are diffing temporary files
	;; produced by Emacs with ediff-coding-system-for-write, so
	;; use the same encoding to read the results.
	(coding-system-for-read
	 (if (string-match "buffer" (symbol-name ediff-job-name))
	     ediff-coding-system-for-write
	   ediff-coding-system-for-read))
	args)

This is the problem: ediff-coding-system-for-read is raw-text, which
gives us the binary data in the buffer instead of characters.

Hm...  Looks like it's been raw-text since basically forever.
