Q32853 C 5.10 Does Not Handle a Source File with CTRL+A Correctly
C Compiler
5.10 | 5.10
MS-DOS | OS/2
Summary:
If you compile a source module that has a CTRL+A character in it,
Version 5.10 of the C compiler does not correctly flag it, which can
hang the system or screen group. This problem occurs under both DOS
and OS/2.
Control-A is equivalent to ASCII character 1 for Start Of Heading (SOH),
and is displayed by the type command as a white-outlined smiley face
using the IBM extended character set.
To work around this problem, make sure your source file is strictly
ASCII text with no CTRL characters.
The QuickC compiler Version 1.01 correctly flags the CTRL character
and returns to DOS successfully.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Version 5.10 of the
C compiler. We are researching this problem and will post new
information as it becomes available.
