As in the coming C++ standard [Stroustrup95] [ANSI95], support for international character sets (i.e., keyboards without the full suite of ASCII characters) is provided in Larch/C++.
The following table gives the alternative tokens, and the primary form
of the token to which they are equivalent.
Only the primary form is used in the syntax in this manual,
but the alternatives are recognized by the Larch/C++ tools
in all contexts.
(The __wchar_t token is a concession to GNU C++.)
For All Contexts

<% {

bitand &
compl ~
not_eq !=
__wchar_t wchar_t
In the definition of a C++ operator function interface, and in C++ statements and expressions, but not in a predicate or term (see section 6.1 Predicates), the following are recognized.

alternative primary
----------------------
and &&
bitor |
or ||
xor ^
and_eq &=
or_eq |=
xor_eq ^=
not !
In a predicate or term,
one can use as tokens the LSL symbols
\/ for "or"
and
/\ for "and".
For negation, use compl, which works as a synonym for ~
in all contexts.
In predicates and terms, various trait functions provide synonyms for !.
In predicates and terms, there is no standard symbol for "exclusive-or";
the token ^ is used in predicates and terms
to mean "the pre-state value of"
(see section 6.2.1 State Functions),
but it has a synonym \pre.
