It /is/ odd, but for fairly unremarkable historical reasons. A char has 
to be able to store, with a non-negative value, every character in the 
basic execution character set. EBCDIC has some fairly important 
characters with code points greater than 127. On an EBCDIC system in 
which 8-bit char is considered desirable, implementations are more or 
less forced to make char unsigned.

We have some choices:

1) outlaw EBCDIC;
2) force ASCII-based implementations to make char unsigned;
3) make char at least 9 bits rather than 8;
4) live with a weird char, like we do now.

If we do (1), IBM will sulk.

If we do (2), GNU, Microsoft, etc will sulk (and we'll introduce a 
different anomaly, that of char being unsigned by default whereas short, 
int, long, and long long, are signed by default.

If we do (3), *everybody* will sulk.

But if we go for (4), we don't have to change anything, which is always 
a popular option.

Sure, I understand all that, and I'm not suggesting a change.  (I
wouldn't mind requiring plain char to be unsigned, but that's probably
not going to happen, and it could have performance implications for some
systems.Z)

If I had been writing section 6.2.5 of the standard, I'd include
plain "char" in the list of standard integer types.  Clearly it's
standard, and integer, and a type, so excluding it seems odd.

Currently, the standard defines the *standard signed integer types*
as:
    signed char
    short
    int
    long
    long long
the *standard unsigned integer types* as:
    _Bool
    unsigned char
    unsigned short
    unsigned int
    unsigned long
    unsigned long long
and the *standard integer types* as the standard signed integer types
and the standard unsigned integer types.

6.2.5p17 defines the category of *integer types* as the signed and
unsigned integer types, plain char, and the enumerated types.  So plain
char is an *integer type* but not a *standard ineteger type*.
Furthermore, though char is an integer type and is either signed or
unsigned, it is neither a *signed integer type* nor an *unsigned integer
type*.

I don't think the standard uses these categories in a way that causes
real problems, but I find it unnecessarily confusing.

I suggest that it would have made more sense to say that plain char
is either one of the standard signed integer types or one of the
standard unsigned integer types (an implementation-defined choice)
*or* to define the *standard integer types* as the standard signed
integer types, the standard unsigned integer types, and plain char.

Isn't EBCDIC only used in really old systems?  I have always thought the
C standard committee should make a clean break at some point and say
that with C15 (for example) they get rid of the cruft and complications
required to support weird and/or outdated systems.  People programming
dinosaurs can stick to C11 or before.  Then they could drop EBCDIC
support and enshrine ASCII (but keep the choice of utf-8, latin-9,
etc.), mandate 8-bit char, 2's complement integers, etc.  It would
simplify many aspects of the language and work well with every modern
system.

gcc works fine with "-funsigned-char", and some gcc targets have
unsigned plain chars by default.  But of course some programmers write
code that makes assumptions about the signedness of plain char - even
though they are wrong to do so, it's not a good idea to change such things.

/I/ certainly would!

And it's easy to implement :-)

I would prefer plain char to be unsigned - it is on some of the targets
I use, and seems much more natural to me.  It just doesn't make sense to
have a "negative" character (and small integers in my code use int8_t or
uint8_t, not "char").  For some targets, unsigned chars can be
noticeably more efficient for arithmetic than signed chars, so
performance can swing both ways.

I suppose _Bool is the odd one out, there being no corresponding "signed
_Bool".

I think it would have been better to define a category "integer types"
consisting of the signed and unsigned integer types, and a category
"discrete types" consisting of the "integer types", plain char, and
enumerated types.  Arithmetic should then only be allowed on true
"integer types", while the other discrete types had a restricted set of
operations (including comparisons, but not arithmetic operators).

Then the distinction would make sense, and improve type safety in C
programming.

Well, PC downwards.  I don't do mainframes, minis, etc.

The point of ASCII is that apart from EBCDIC, everyone agrees on the
first 128 characters.  And those first 128 characters are sufficient for
a large proportion of programs.  We won't get everyone to agree about
anything beyond that, so there is no point in trying.

So are you claiming that a 7-bit code that has been standardised is a 
7-bit code that has been standardised? Outrageous! :-)

The point of EBCDIC is that, like it or not, big iron runs it, *almost* 
without exception, so we're kinda stuck with it for now (although there 
are signs that IBM is slowly edging towards ASCII).

Unfortunately, EBCDIC will be with us for some time to come (decades at 
least, I should imagine), so if we want our C programs to run on big 
iron (and, believe it or not, some of us really really do), we're kind 
of stuck with a weird char.

If the next C standard were incompatible with EBCDIC (for example,
requiring 'a' + 25 == 'z', or even 'a' == 97), IBM would continue
to sell and use C-like compilers that use EBCDIC.  They'd probably
just claim conformance to an earlier edition of the standard (have
they adopted C11? C99?).  Or, if the new standard had other features
IBM finds useful, they'd just implement them and acknowledge the
non-conformance of the character set.

The problem is that it would fragment the language, and encourage
programmers to write "portable" C code that wouldn't work on IBM
mainframes.

In any case, I think IBM has enough influence on the C standard
committee that this isn't going to happen any time soon.

AFAIK, the zOS compiler is pretty complete on C99, and has partial C11
and C++11 support.

That's fine - I am not suggesting that C compilers drop support for 
these systems.  I am just wondering if such systems need support from 
newer C standards - and if it would be practical to say that if a 
program is written to C15 (or whatever), then it the character set must 
be 8-bit, and the first 128 characters must be ASCII.  This doesn't 
change C for EBCDIC computers - it merely hinders them from running C15 
programs.  But it would make life a little easier for everyone who 
/doesn't/ write code to run on those systems - as well as making the 
standard itself a little shorter and clearer.

As another example, consider support for char's wider than 8-bit. 
Outside of mainframes, the most common class of systems with wider 
char's are DSP devices - they sometimes have 16-bit or even 32-bit chars 
(with a few really weird systems having 24-bit chars).  But would there 
be any disadvantage of saying that these cannot support C15, or at least 
that they cannot do so efficiently?  I don't think anything would be 
lost - few compilers for such devices support anything beyond C99 (and 
not all have come that far!).  And of course developers would be happy 
to see such tools support 8-bit chars, even if it meant somewhat less 
efficient generated code.

IBM will probably disagree. I believe they have good C support
for z/OS.

We have a C compiler on the PDP-10, but I don't know that anyone
expects C15 for that.  It does have 9 bit char.

They can keep EBCDIC if they want, but why inflict it on everyone else? 
Especially as it was such a crazy character mapping.

People can spend lifetimes programming and not come across EBCDIC, yet 
they are denied language features such as: case 'A'..'F', and EBCDIC is 
usually quoted as one of the reasons.

The one I used had mainly 7-bit characters (not in C). And used ASCII.

Seems that ASCII and EBCDIC are about the same age. 

IBM was considering ASCII-8 (which isn't ASCII-7 with an extra
bit on the left.) but the standard never came.

You can use 'A'..'F' just fine. There are some other codes between
'I' and 'J', and also between 'R' and 'S', but not many printable
characters. Specifically, only '}' and '\'.

The PDP-10 file system stores 7-bit ASCII, five to a 36 bit word.
But C requires that char be at least 8 bits, and that a word (int)
be an integral multiple of char. That leaves 9, 12, 18, and 36 bits
as possible choices.

I think you missed Bart's point.  He was (I believe) talking about
"language features", not encoding specifics.

(What follows is speculation as to what Bart was talking about; I may be
wrong, but if I am, then consider it to be tagged to me and not to him)

The problem is that because C wants to support weird character sets like
EBCDIC, so as a result we can't have nice things.  Specifically, we can't
have as part of the syntax of "switch":

	case 'A'..'F':
	    puts("Valid grade!");

I'm pretty sure other languages support this - I think Pascal does.

In both ASCII and EBCDIC, the characters 'A' through 'F' are contiguous,
so you could do that. (Seems to me a language design decision.)

There are some ranges that are not contiguous, and in all cases
it is up to the programmer to know how to use them. 

There are plenty of programming mistakes you can make using
just ASCII characters.

If you think that what you've written is an answer to or an objection to
what I wrote, then you have completely missed the point of my post.

> (Seems to me a language design decision.)

Yes.  That *is* the point.  That C's syntax does not allow ranges on
switch() statements.  And that, I speculate, part of the reason it doesn't
is because of wanting to support EBCDIC (and/or other weird encodings).

I'm going to quote myself here.  Please read the following again, carefully:

* The problem is that because C wants to support weird character sets like
* EBCDIC, so as a result we can't have nice things.

Note that the phrase "can't have nice things" is a current cliche.  A nice
turn of phrase...

That is possible, but I am not convinced. Do you have any reference
for the decision?  Since a large fraction of switch/case use non-char
operands, this reason wouldn't apply. 

Well, also, when I first learned switch/case I considered it the C
version of the Fortran computed GOTO, commonly implemented as a
branch table. Branch tables are a more obvious solution with a smaller
number of choices.

You can speculate that if you want, I speculate that it isn't that.

There is a long list of features that other languages have and C
doesn't. We can speculate all we want, but the most important reason
is that C was meant to be a fairly simple language.

You keep saying that. Perhaps I should have chosen a different example! 
(I had no idea where the breaks in the EBCDIC set were.) The point is 
that because of those breaks in the sequence - wherever they happen to 
be - you can't use case letter1 .. letter2: in general.

But it does make you wonder why they bothered making some subsets of the 
alphabet have consecutive codes at all, rather than just make them all 
arbitrary and help keep everyone on their toes.

EBCDIC derives from earlier codes (all with "BCD" somewhere in the
name) and punch card usage.

The three groups of uppercase letters on IBM standard punch cards use
a 12/11/0 punch, plus a 1-9 punch.  That first punch effectively
represents the high nibble of the EBCDIC code (0xc0/0xd0/0xe0) for the
characters, and second punch becomes the low nibble of the code.  The
excess code point, oxe1, is used for a slash.  The digits are just
single 0-9 punches.

704 BCD followed a similar pattern, despite having 6-bit characters,
and the digits and three groups of alphabetic characters were in the
0x00/0x10/0x20/0x30 ranges.

In the 704 days relating the internal representation to the punch card
format made some sense.  As mentioned elsewhere IBM had intended an
ASCII variant for S/360, but both the standard and the ASCII
peripherals were late (many of the card devices and printers - "unit
record" gear - were enhanced/adapted versions of devices from
pre-S/360 systems), so the OS and everything else got written with the
updated BCD code, and despite having an ASCII mode, S/360 never used
it.

ASCII has some odd choices too, but it's clearly a much cleaner
organization.

But if you want discontiguous (and disordered!) letters, Baudot and
it's various descendents will do the trick.

The designers of the latest version of the DeathStation 9000, in a rare 
spirit of generosity and amity towards their customers, decided that 
their character set (which is of course 100% conforming) would have the 
following layout:

Code Point 0: null (obviously), followed by no fewer than 81 
DeathStation-specific code points which I won't go into here.

Then come Esc f1-f12 (in that order) PrtScr ScrollLock Break ESC F1-F12 
PRTSCR SCROLLLOCK Pause

¬ ! " £ $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + Backspace Insert Home PageUp

`
(At this point, there is a note in the design document along the lines 
of "growf!", as they realise they're going to have to break the logical 
pattern at this point in order to remain conforming)

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 - = BACKSPACE INSERT HOME PAGEUP

Tab q w e r t y u i o p [ ] Newline Delete End PageDown
TAB Q W E R T Y U I O P { } Carriage DELETE END PAGEDOWN
CapsLock a s d f g h j k l ; ' #
CAPSLOCK A S D F G H J K L : @ ~
LeftShift \ z x c v b n m , . / RightShift UpArrow
LEFTSHIFT | Z X C V B N M < > ? RIGHTSHIFT UPARROW
LeftCtrl Meta Alt Space Metameta Metametameta  RightCtrl LeftArrow 
DownArrow RightArrow
LEFTCTRL META ALT SPACE METAMETA METAMETAMETA RIGHTCTRL LEFTARROW 
DOWNARROW RIGHTARROW

In case you're curious, the DS9000 keyboard hardware distinguishes 
between LEFTSHIFT (upper case left shift) and RIGHTSHIFT by remembering 
which shift key was pressed first. Left first, you get RIGHTSHIFT. Right 
first, you get LEFTSHIFT. But you have to be quick, or you just get 
leftshift or rightshift instead.
