I think such an extension would be non-conforming, but programmers who actually need trigraphs aren't likely to be too bothered by that. Or they might use a build environment with some kind of pre-preprocessor that generates conforming C23 code (assuming that some characters are treated as curly braces). I don't know enough about mainframe software development (specifically for EBCDIC systems) to know which approach would make the most sense. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) Keith.S.Thompson+u@gmail.com void Void(void) { Void(); } /* The recursive call of the void */
