Evantually fatal as: Strings with code points over 0xFF may not be used as arguments to %s operator So warning as: Use of strings with code points over 0xFF as arguments to %s operator is deprecated Matches the warning on opening ref to string with wide characters. I don't think "bit_xor operator" is so bad, in the case that we can't just get & or | etc. -- rjbsThread Previous | Thread Next
