main.c file to reproduce the error, just add this to a C or C++ project

Section 5.2.1 of the C99 standard defines the character set. In this section "vertical tab" is called out explicitly as a whitespace character which the compiler shall ignore.

The file I attach has such a character (it is in main the character between the open bracket and the E of EXIT_SUCCESS on this line :

return (EXIT_SUCCESS);


When the character exists I get red underlines for all function names in the file and the IDE log reports this error :

/CppApplication_1/main.c:8:13: unexpected char: 0xB

As far as I understand the standard the character 0xB should be ignored as whitespace by the Lexer and not produce this error.
