  • \$\begingroup\$ @nyuszika7h ... 7 is equivalent with \a - this could be a problem with passing to the printf function, it would be interesting for me to see if int a = '\aÞ' is 2014 using tcc. 508830 looks very strange to me - i would guess some endian thing but n * 256 + 7 can never be that number. So this illuminates how string this code depends on the system. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 1, 2014 at 22:58
