I opened a existing C++ source code with Chinese file name, then used `M-x gdb`:`gdb -i=mi xxx` and `M-x gdb-many-windows`. Trying clicking the fringe to set a breakpoint, I didn't get a little red point as expected, though it appeared successfully in the breakpoints buffer. However, then I was told that `Use M-x make-directory RET RET to create the directory and its parents`. Clicking the fringe again, it told me `File /home/_directory_name_/"/home/_directory_name_/_some_strange_numbers_with_backslash_.cpp" is read-only on disk. Make buffer read-only, too? (y or n)` After changing the file name into a English one, gdb worked normally. It also went wrong when picking a Chinese directory name. Hope that the problem can be solved. Thanks. :) And sorry for my poor English. --- In GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.9) of 2016-04-17 on lgw01-04, modified by Debian Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.11804000 System Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Configured using: `configure --build x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var/lib --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-pop=yes --enable-locallisppath=/etc/emacs24:/etc/emacs:/usr/local/share/emacs/24.5/site-lisp:/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp:/usr/share/emacs/24.5/site-lisp:/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp --build x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var/lib --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-pop=yes --enable-locallisppath=/etc/emacs24:/etc/emacs:/usr/local/share/emacs/24.5/site-lisp:/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp:/usr/share/emacs/24.5/site-lisp:/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp --with-x=yes --with-x-toolkit=gtk3 --with-toolkit-scroll-bars 'CFLAGS=-g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wall' 'CPPFLAGS=-Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2' 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro'' Important settings: value of $LANG: zh_CN.UTF-8 value of $XMODIFIERS: @im=fcitx locale-coding-system: utf-8-unix Major mode: C++/lah Minor modes in effect: gdb-many-windows: t linum-mode: t show-paren-mode: t tooltip-mode: t electric-indent-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t tool-bar-mode: t menu-bar-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t font-lock-mode: t blink-cursor-mode: t auto-composition-mode: t auto-encryption-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t line-number-mode: t transient-mark-mode: t abbrev-mode: t hs-minor-mode: t Recent messages: Loading /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50dictionaries-common.el (source)...done Loading /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50python-docutils.el (source)...done For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.
