On rosebud, the rs6000 in the SIPB office:
athena% cat /tmp/foo.c
foo () {
error ("hexadecimal digitE after \\x");
}
athena% cc -E /tmp/foo.c
# 1 "/tmp/foo.c"
foo () {
error ("hexadecimal digitE after \\x");
}
athena% /lib/cpp /tmp/foo.c
# 1 "/tmp/foo.c"
foo () {
error ("hexadecimal digitE after \\x");
2 | error ("hexadecimal digitE after \\x");
.....................................a...
a - 1288-235: (W) Illegal escape sequence x ignored.
}
athena%
The "\\" should be a perfectly legal escape sequence producing a
single backslash character; the "x" is not part of the escape
sequence.
