From d9759fdb0338a3edfff504e2c6560a475659c825 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jordan Rose Date: Sat, 9 Feb 2013 02:12:23 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Release notes: mention support for Unicode and UCNs in identifiers. I'm using the name "Extended Identifiers" for the feature because that's what GCC calls them. According to the standard, the new feature is "universal character names are now allowed in identifiers", but the more interesting "feature" is that identifiers can now contain Unicode characters, however they are written. llvm-svn: 174798 --- clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst b/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst index 3c09a58..5435ce5 100644 --- a/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst +++ b/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst @@ -56,6 +56,15 @@ about them.
