Bug #: 51259
Summary: no escape on control characters on linemarker lines
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.6.2
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: trivial
Priority: P3
Component: preprocessor
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: pertu...@free.fr
In the cpp manual, node 'Preprocessor Output' it is told about linemarker lines
They mean that the following line originated in file filename at line
linenum. filename will never contain any non-printing characters; they are
replaced with octal escape sequences.
This is not what the following test shows (\x01 is also often denoted as C^A):
echo "int main() { }" > aa`printf '\x01'`bb.h
echo '#include "aa'`printf '\x01'`'bb.h"' > inc.c
And look at
cpp inc.c
or
gcc -E inc.c
gcc compiles the file inc.c fine.
I have no idea whether cpp should conform to the documentation or whether the
documentation should be changed...
$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
