Just wanted to check. I willdo a request for functionality. Basically,
the customer would like to place comments in their language instead of
English. This isn't too much trouble in Canada, but I can see the need
in other locales.
Thanks!

| I'm not sure but I don't think the tools we use in the compiler
support other character sets. We use yacc, so we would need a yacc
that supports other sets on all our platforms and a business need to
make the change.

| 2423.4 | I believe Latin-1 is enough to enter in French | CFSCTC::HUSTON | Steve Huston | Fri Jan 24 1997 18:48 | 7 |
| If they can type non-Western Latin-1 characters into the file, that should
be good for entering French (though I'm _way_ out of my specialty here...)
If the compiler is choking on characters with the eighth bit set, that's a
legitimate bug. Latin-1 is a full 8 bit set.

| You could preprocess IDL with cpp if you need solution right now.

| I tried the appl/broker gen uniq on the idl in .0 and it worked
fine on v2.7-11. What version is the customer using ?

| I have tried this on 2.6 and on 2.7-10. I will upgrade my NT system
to 2.7-11 and see if the problem changes.
Thanks.

I will also try this out on DUnix. What platform did you try it on?

I tried it on VMS as I was dialed in. When I tried it at work on
my nt box, I got the same error. I suspect a yacc difference.
I will investigate it further in the next few days.

| If you say ISO Latin is supported then you probabbly mean that 7 and 8
bit characters are supported as part of content of a string to be
furter processed and after all used in code somehow.
But the claim is for French Characters in Comment;
Does the compiler not ignore any charcter clearly marked as belonging
to comment ? If so then this is the real issue in my mind.

| The problem is with the OBB preprocessor. When it encounters the French
character, it incorrectly preprocesses the output. Note that this is
only a problem with the // comment style.
Therefore, the workaround is to use the C style comments /* */
instead of the C++ style comments //
