Thank you for your bug report.

The issue you report is not a bug. Both strings in your example look
like this:
define('A','C:\Dir\');

Note that the last single quote is escaped by the backslash. Passing
this to eval or putting this string in a PHP file will rightfully give a
parse error, because there is no ending quote.

Description:
------------
Eval() makes a wrong parsing of a string ending with \\' or \'

The "Reproduce code" will not fail if you remove the ending \\ or \
like:

$str = "define('A','C:\\Dir');"; or
$str = "define('A','C:\Dir');";


Reproduce code:
---------------
$str = "define('A','C:\\Dir\\');";
eval($str);

or 

$str = "define('A','C:\Dir\');";
eval($str);


Expected result:
----------------
No warnings or errors.

Just this statement executed:

define('A','C:\Dir\');


Actual result:
--------------
For both examples provided the result is the same:


Warning: Unexpected character in input: ''' (ASCII=39) state=1 in
/test.php(3) : eval()'d code on line 1

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /test.php(3) : eval()'d
code on line 1
