22 /* If the target program uses a different character set than the host,

24 characters and strings to the host character set before displaying
25 them, and converts characters and strings appearing in expressions
26 entered by the user to the target character set.
28 GDB's code pretty much assumes that the host character set is some
29 superset of ASCII; there are plenty if ('0' + n) expressions and
