It "complains" here.

However, you have to specify the '-Wall' parameter to gcc to get it
to "complain" in the first place.  Did I mention that previously?

You might consider using '-Wall -pedantic' at a minimum.  You can
use '-ansi' for C89/C90 code.

It sounds to me like you might be using the wrong function.  When
you want to detect non-printable characters, you probably want to
use isgraph() instead of isspace() etc.  Specifically, you probably
want the logical opposite of isgraph().  I.e.,

  if(!isgraph(c))
  {
        ....
  }

Or, you could use a small switch() statement to detect your own set
of characters.

You can also use isgraph() with isalnum() to create an ispunct()
etc.  Some systems return strange results for some of the isXXX()
set of functions, i.e., better to create your own from the "safe"
functions where everything is defined.

Well, that's part of the standard.
