downer: I have noticed that some quoted strings in my code "\r\n" are being translated to (to a return and newline) in the corresponding XS file. When I write Inline-C stuff, I have to add an extra escape to the backslashes: `... char string [] = "Hello World\\n"; ...` [download] Regards mwa	[reply] [d/l]

now i have some mis-formed lines I have not struck this problem before (though it seems mwah has). Do you mean that the following simple Inline::C function leads to a corrupted XS file: `void greet() { printf("Hello World\n"); }` [download] If not, then can you provide a small complete script that demonstrates the issue. Cheers, Rob Update:I hadn't noticed the OP's usage of `<<END_C` and wasn't aware of the gotcha (explained below by tye) associated with that usage.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`<<END_C` is the same as `<<"END_C"` which means one needs to put a backslash in front of any occurrences of \, $, or @ in the following C code. If he used `<<'END_C'` instead, then he wouldn't have that problem. - tye	[reply] [d/l] [select]
