Message-ID: <6570@brl-adm.ARPA> Date: Tue, 31-Mar-87 10:51:41 EST Article-I.D.: brl-adm.6570 Posted: Tue Mar 31 10:51:41 1987 Date-Received: Thu, 2-Apr-87 07:31:27 EST Sender: news@brl-adm.ARPA Lines: 6 C Guri: In the Microsoft C compiler V4.0, '\x' is compiled as 0 on the grounds that it's a brain-damaged version of '\x00'. This is what Microsoft's support group said when I reported what I thought was a bug. I claim that '\x' is a perfectly fine representation of the character x and should have value 120 base 10. How sayeth INFO-C?
