Skipping '\' in C++ template

[numatrumpet]

Using own C++ template, character \ (backslash) is always ignored. For example,

#define DBG2(x,y) { cout << #x << " = " << x << "\t" << #y << " = " << y << endl; }

becomes

#define DBG2(x,y) { cout << #x << " = " << x << "t" << #y << " = " << y << endl; }

Although I'll tackle this problem if there is time, please solve or explain this issue if possible.

\ in template file will translate into .

So just use:

define DBG2(x,y) { cout << #x << " = " << x << "\t" << #y << " = "

<< y << endl; }

Thats good. I'll close this issue.

I think the template itself should be ignorant of escaping. Backslashes are to be rendered as-is. Maybe we could fix this.

Would break already existing templates that use double backslashes with no added benefit. I think just include a hint about this in documentation.
