- 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.
