[gnu.emacs.bug] when the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing...

mcgeer@eros (10/08/88)

So I use gnumacs to do my editing, because it's a great editor (v
18.47.3 running on Ultrix 2.2 under X-10).  However, when I want to
print out a right parenthesis, eg,
printf(")\n");

poor old gnumacs gets all confused.  Well, this is easy:
printf("\)\n");

at which point Saber tells me I have an unknown escape sequence.  Fair
enough, I do.  But I draw the line when gcc tells me the same thing..

path_utils.c:393: warning: unknown escape sequence `\)'
