I'd been using an old hacked local up clang_format.py for a long time, but recently switched to the buildtools one on a new machine. On files with non-ascii I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "c:/src/cr/src/buildtools/clang_format/script/clang-format.py", line 110, in <module>
    main()
  File "c:/src/cr/src/buildtools/clang_format/script/clang-format.py", line 87, in main
    stdout, stderr = p.communicate(input=text.encode(encoding))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 6632: ordinal not in range(128)


It hasn't changed upstream https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk/tools/clang-format/clang-format.py

But I think the

  text.encode(encoding)

call should really be

  text.decode(encoding).encode('utf-8')

or something like that as we're going from the vim-buffer's encoding to a python string, and then to an encoding that clang-format wants as input. Does that make sense?

(Not sure if anyone else uses this script... Nico?)
