What is the character set referred to in Rule 3.2? - Gavin McCall - 09-09-2005
Question: What is the character set referred to in Rule 3.2?
Answer: MISRA C Steering Team
There are two character sets.
The source code is written in one character set.
The program can execute with input/output in a second character set.
These may or may not be the same.
Both the basic source character set and the basic execution character sets shall be documented.
This rule allows free choice of character sets for coding and execution. This use shall be documented.
