/Zc:trigraphs (Trigraphs Substitution)
When /Zc:trigraphs is specified, the compiler replaces a trigraph character sequence by using a corresponding punctuation character.
Syntax
/Zc:trigraphs[-]
Remarks
A trigraph consists of two consecutive question marks (??) followed by a unique third character. The C language standard supports trigraphs for source files that use a character set that doesn't contain convenient graphic representations for some punctuation characters. For example, when trigraphs are enabled, the compiler replaces the ??= trigraph by using the # character. Through C++14, trigraphs are supported as in C. The C++17 standard removes trigraphs from the C++ language. In C++ code, the /Zc:trigraphs compiler option enables substitution of trigraph sequences by the corresponding punctuation character. /Zc:trigraphs- disables trigraph substitution.
The /Zc:trigraphs option is off by default, and the option isn't affected when the /permissive- option is specified.
For a list of C/C++ trigraphs, and an example that shows how to use trigraphs, see Trigraphs.
