coverage: `llvm-cov` expects column numbers to be bytes, not code points Normally the compiler emits column numbers as a 1-based number of Unicode code points. But when we embed coverage mappings for `-Cinstrument-coverage`, those mappings will ultimately be read by the `llvm-cov` tool. That tool assumes that column numbers are 1-based numbers of *bytes*, and relies on that assumption when slicing up source code to apply highlighting (in HTML reports, and in text-based reports with colour). For the very common case of all-ASCII source code, bytes and code points are the same, so the difference isn't noticeable. But for code that contains non-ASCII characters, emitting column numbers as code points will result in `llvm-cov` slicing strings in the wrong places, producing mangled output or fatal errors. (See https://github.com/taiki-e/cargo-llvm-cov/issues/275 as an example of what can go wrong.) |
