Hello, Igor,
> Which one is correct? How things can go wrong if "x" is used or not?
Both are wrong. ;o)
common.h defines 'xisalpha(c)==isalpha(c)&&c<0200' and both ctangle.w
amd cweave.w define 'ishigh(c)==c>0177', so '(x)isalpha || ishigh' cover
the same range of characters.
Moreover, both ctangle.w and cweave.w use 'isalpha' inside |Get an
identifier|, so this should be used.
I'll try to clean up the code redundancy in CWEB 4.3.
Thanks for pointing this out!
Andreas
