SYMPTOMS
Trigraphs are three-character sequences used to represent punctuation unavailable in a character set. When the compiler encounters Trigraph statements that use ifdef and endif statements, it gives the following erroneous end-of-file error:
CAUSE
Trigraph translation is not finished before processing, so the #endif (the equivalent of ??=endif) is not reached.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
NOTE: This problem did not occur in Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version 4.0.
MORE INFORMATION
The following is sample code to reproduce the problem:
