| Jul 9, 2020 at 22:17 | comment | added | Raffzahn | @MichaelGraf True, especially the 'Island of ASCII' part. As the island it is, the Unix services have to translate between the over all EBCDIC environment all the time.So Unix is rather the exception to prove the rule. In fact, even ASCII using UNIX programs do have to translate from EBCDIC every time they use BCD conversion instructions :) | |
| Jul 9, 2020 at 21:43 | comment | added | Michael Graf | I quibble with "EBCDIC for everything within the System", because of z/OS UNIX System Services, which can be used to create an "island of ASCII", and because of Linux on z. | |

| Jul 8, 2020 at 19:58 | comment | added | Raffzahn | @Ruslan True. IMHO removal of trigraphs is a complete useless measure, bringing no improvement but breaking compatibility in some strange corners. | |
| Jul 8, 2020 at 19:16 | comment | added | Ruslan | Indeed, IBM were the (only) ones who actively opposed the complete removal of trigraphs from C++: in 2009 and in 2014. | |
