I see, so on Cygwin, the negative index is allowed, thanks to a displacement. # define DEFAULT_CTYPE_PTR ((char *) _ctype_b + 127) But, 127? A (signed) char can go to -128. '\x80' will access _ctype_b[-1]. Is that also somehow OK? (Tangential remark: all ctype implementations have to handle at least one negative value, namely EOF.) -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
