When user selects a snippet in Eclipse editor and uses Ctrl+Shift+F to run clang-format for it, the location of the snippet is specified to clang-format using -offset and -length command line arguments.
Problem is that while clang-format expects them as bytes, CppStyle uses character counts. Considering Unicode characters, this goes easily wrong and the snippet selection becomes unreliable.
One way to tackle this is to use -lines instead of -offset/-length since clang-format also translates the -offset/-length into line numbers internally (no additional accuracy boost from using the byte definitions).
