Summary: Unicode literals do not generate errors as prescribed
by the FDIS standard
Product: gcc
Version: 4.6.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: trivial
Priority: P3
Component: c++
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: z...@sogetthis.com
Host: Linux x86
Referring to the standard:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2442.htm
The character literal \UNNNNNNNN must only accept characters in the range
0-0x10FFFF, excluding surrogates. However, GCC allows 31-bit values above
0x10FFFF. To wit, the following compiles:
char32_t s[] = U"\U0010FFFF\U7FFFFFFF";
It may be that the actual wording of the FDIS (2.3.2, p.19) is more relaxed
than in the reference I gave above and that this behaviour is in fact
intentional, but I thought I bring it up anyway.
