/* * Hex escapes in C code can be confusing; this is non-portable: * * const char *str = "\xffab"; * * GCC will warn: * * warning: hex escape sequence out of range [enabled by default] * * To avoid this, you can e.g. use the following form: * * const char *str = "\xff" "ab"; * * If the C hex escape is terminated by a character that cannot be a * valid hex digit, there is no need for this (but breaking up the * string is still good practice), e.g.: * * const char *str = "\xffquux"; * * Another hex escape always terminates a previous hex escape. For * instance, to write a user internal property constant with two * leading 0xFF bytes: * * const char *str = "\xff\xff" "quux"; */ #include int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { const char *str = "\xffabcdef"; /* Generates a warning on GCC */ printf("%s\n", str); return 0; }
