backslash

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]


Is Lua's backslash behaviour future-proof? I don't think so.
print('\x') --> x enhance the Lua escape sequences with an \x
 in the future possible corrupts existing code
print('\x') --> \x this would be a little bit better but also
 not future-proof
print('\x') --> print nothing is the solution I think
 - the programmer/user can see the effect today
 and simply replace the \x with an x
 - Lua can implement further escape-sequences
 in the future without corrupt existing programs
