- Somewhere I read that the C-compiler cc is not 8-bit clean. I am not sure
- what It means?
-
- Also from the manpage of lex in UNIX, it says:
-
- The lex command is not changed to support 8-bit symbol
- names, as this would produce lex source code that is not
- portable between systems.
-
- Does this mean that lex can only be used for lexical analysis of text
- of ascii code 0-127?
