commit f1fd5781779504ee373ee9a344df14348d986d0b
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Sun Jul 6 06:15:53 2025 -0500
[eqn]: Fix Savannah #67285.
* src/preproc/eqn/main.cpp (read_line): Stop discarding invalid input
characters, as this function doesn't know whether we're reading an eqn
region. Keep track of whether we've seen the default *roff escape
character (`\`) and a `"` or `#` immediately after one. If so, stop
throwing warnings about these characters as well. ("lex.cpp"'s
`file_input::read_line()` independently checks for invalid character
codes encountered when _interpreting_ the input.)
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?67285>. Problem dates back at
least to groff 1.02, 2 June 1991.
