That's horrible.
I completely agree. But it's not the only thing that's wrong on
the particular platform (I don't have to mention any names, do I
?)
Backspace and Delete is *also* exchanged. Oh well, I better stay
on topic.
Are you completely sure this is what's happening? Is this
documented?
I believe it's the officially expected behaviour of those
compilers.
However, it might not be an important issue, because the D parser
is only using it for line counting.
This sort of conversion is to be expected during cruntime io,
but changing the values is nasty.
There are two more compilers, which I have not mentioned; one is
called Macintosh C (quite old though), the other is from Motorola.
There is very little reason to change the compiler at this
point. Those compilers are not officially supported as host
compilers for building dmd.
I think it's OK to keep the code as it is, as long as the
developers are aware of the problem that can possibly arise.
