Of course, '\377' is not a printing character; the problem lay in using isprint without first making sure its integer argument corresponded to an ascii code. MORAL: always guard uses of ctype macros with isascii if it's available. An obvious alternative is to avoid and define and use your own versions of the ctype macros. A pretty clean approach to using and isascii was suggested by David MacKenzie: #ifndef isascii #define isascii(c) 1 #endif #define ISDIGIT(c) (isascii (c) && isdigit (c)) #define ISPRINT(c) (isascii (c) && isprint (c)) ... then, use ISDIGIT, etc. instead of isdigit, etc. */ #endif /* not KPATHSEA_C_CTYPE_H */
