Message-ID: <19990416173058.c1TEYnQSFGS9H-MiYUhgo_mzhOe9blewinAedBShf4w@z> (raw)
There is a section in the French introduction wondering why something like
print("%c\n", 'û');
can work. It is indeed a little surprising, but in any case we
recently changed the compiler to warn not only when a character
constant overflows, but also if it turns on a sign bit (that is, if it
overflows one bit sooner). This program now draws a warning. It also
still works....
