No, it won't work at all on systems which don't use ASCII encoding (use
'\'' if you mean a single quote, not 39). It also won't work if you
have unmatched double quotes inside of strings, single quotes inside of character
constants or either of them inside of comments. The problem with
preprocessor lines has already been mentioned. It also will get into an
endless loop if char is unsigned by default or if EOF is not defined as
-1. Maybe there are other problems, too, but this should suffice for
now :-)
