Have the result of coding_character_tell() reflect str->convert_to, too. src/ChangeLog addition: 2014-01-22 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * text.c (buffered_bytecount_to_charcount): New. Return the number of characters in a coding or lstream buffer, including partial characters at the beginning of the buffer, but not including those at the end. Refactored from Lstream_character_tell(). * text.h: * text.h (buffered_bytecount_to_charcount): Declare it. * lstream.c (Lstream_character_tell): Use the refactored buffered_bytecount_to_charcount () here, both for the unget buffer and in_buffer. * file-coding.c (coding_character_tell): Check the character count of the lstream buffer too, when passing back the character count from the coding stream.
