What's the value of characters in execution character set?
c++
Solution
Of course it can be ASCII's 65, if the execution character set is ASCII or a superset (such as UTF-8).
It doesn't say "it can't be ASCII", it says that it is something called "the execution character set".
Problem
Quote from C++03 2.2 Character sets: "The basic execution character set and the basic execution wide-character set shall each contain all the members of the basic source character set..The values of the members of the execution character sets are implementation-defined, and any additional members are locale-specific." According to this, `'A'`, which belongs to the execution character set, its value is implementation-defined. So it's not 65(ASCII code of `'A'` in decimal), what?! ``` // Not always 65? printf ("%d", 'A'); ``` Or I've a misunderstanding as to the value of a character in execution character set?
