------- Comment #1 from jvdelisle at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-08-24 19:45 ------- gfortran does have -fbackslash that enables c-style interpretation of backslash characters in strings.
With the Intel approach, the code will not compile without error by a standard conforming compiler. I would not consider that portable at all. At least with gfortran, the program will compile with or without the -fbackslash. I am sure there are more portable ways to accomplish these things. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37224
