@"
: Convert string to ASCII
The construction @"abc"
converts the enclosed string to its ASCII
representation. For example, in C and C++
@"abc"
will be output as "\141\142\143"
.
In FORTRAN and RATFOR, no such simple mechanism exists in the
language, so a function call is issued. For example, the previous
example would be output as ASCIIstr('abc')
. The user is
responsible for defining the function ASCIIstr
. The name of this
function can be changed by the style-file entry ASCII_fcn
.
See ASCII_fcn.
If the native character set of one's machine is ASCII, the conversion
will not be done unless the -A
command-line option is used.
See -A_.
