Helmut, (All)

 

You recently asked for a collection of patches.

 

One I had forgotten was to stop the compiler quietly ignoring illegal Unicode characters in source code.

 

It has just saved me lots of wasted time, I accidently typed a Unicode ‘-‘ instead of an ASCII one. It looks the same

in the Courier font I use for complex mathematical / numerical source code.

 

Because I was using this patch the error showed up immediately.

 

 

I can’t remember the details (file name etc), but can look if necessary. Anyway, please add it to your list if it is not already there.

 

Regards

 

Robert
