That would be standard library (smalltalk) code: '\\ \t \n' backslashEscaped After a quick glance in Squeak, I found #expandMacrosWithArguments: but it's a full-blown sprintf-like DSL, unescapePercentsWithTextEncoding: which is more like an hex-sequence expander, and encoding conversions squeak-to-mac, squeak-to-utf8, or #encodeToHTTP. In any case, the C notation is just a string encoding among others, and should be treated as such. The only escape sequence handled by the parser is the quote doubling. -- Damien Pollet type less, do more [ | ] http://people.untyped.org/damien.pollet _______________________________________________ Etoile-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-discuss
