Re: Towards a cleaner build

[Lars Ingebrigtsen]

In xselect--encode-string:
select.el:475:24:Warning: ‘string-make-unibyte’ is an obsolete function (as of
    26.1); use ‘encode-coding-string’.

This is the code:

           ((eq type 'C_STRING)
            (setq str (string-make-unibyte str)))

(string-make-unibyte "á☪foo")
=> "\341*foo"

I'm guessing the point here is to make an 8-bit string that is somewhat
congruent with the (possibly) multibyte string that we have here?  Do we
have a library function (or a coding system) that does the same thing?
