This is quite different than any other language
that I am used to. Normally, a double backslash
takes away the special meaning of the last backslash,
and so you are left with a single backslash.
How do I express the single backslash?
Thanks,

A little more looking, and I see:

"\\'"
>>len("\\'")
2

So it was just the console representation that was fooling
me into thinking that I had a double backslash.

It IS a single backslash - the interpreter in interactive mode
displays the string literal (escaped) version of what you entered,
which is, well, what you entered. If you print it instead, you'll see
the actual string value.

'\\'

how does escaping work when I already have it as a raw string? When I

I guess there must be some convention or Windows specification for
whether the backslash immediately preceding the file name in a full
path string to a file is formally part of the path string or of the
file name. I suppose the options are:
1. Part of the path string, ie all returned path strings should have a
trailing backslash.
2. Part of the file name, ie all file names should start with a
backslash.

It looks like sometimes a single backslash is replaced by a double backslash,
but sometimes it's not ???
See the error message below,
the first backslash is somewhere (not explicitly in my code) replaced,
but the second is not ???
Is it in general better to use double backslash in filepaths ?
thanks,

The printf function returns "warning: unknown escape sequence: \040"
for a backslash-space combination. If the ascii decimal number for
space is 32 and the backslash is 92, why this particular number 040?
Is it a decimal number from the ASCII code chart? (compiling using gcc
on SunOS 5.8, Sparc, Ultra-80)
Just curious. Thanks.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
