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:
fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found.
CAUSE
=====
Trigraph translation is not finished before processing, so the #endif (the
equivalent of ??=endif) is not reached.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article.
NOTE: This problem did not occur in Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version
4.0.
