String Literals with Embedded Newlines |
Previous | GNU C Language Extensions | Next |
As an extension, GNU CPP permits string literals to cross multiple lines
without escaping the embedded newlines. Each embedded newline is
replaced with a single \n
character in the resulting string
literal, regardless of what form the newline took originally.
CPP currently allows such strings in directives as well (other than the
#include
family).
