Some nice consequences of "_" in A# (we have forgotten this one). Consider two files: -------obfus1.as------------ #include "aslib.as" pri_ -------obfus2.as------------ #include "obfus1.as" nt("asd")() ---------------------------- asharp -Fx obfus2.as compiles and obfus2 returns "asd". Philip --+ The fact that the escape character "_" can be used to create tokens which --+ span include boundaries is not a bug, but should not be relied upon as part --+ of the language. A different arrangement between the includer and the scanner --+ could potentially have different behavior.
