Subject: [9fans] UTF and the preprocessor
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2009 17:30:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <138575260903300830q546ddabv46227554c3630688@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi there,
I just found out that the preprocessor on plan 9 doesn't like utf. I
hope I am wrong, but just try to compile something like

# include <u.h>
# include <libc.h>

# define ΓVAL 12

void main(void);

void
main()
{
	int β;

	β = ΓVAL;
	while(β < 15)
		print("%d\n", β++);
	exits(nil);
}

and you get a "syntax in #define" error that points to the define
line. Remove (or replace) the utf character and everything works as
expected.
