3# Test backslash escaping.

5# Extracts from the POSIX 2008 specification
6# <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/make.html>:
7#
8#     Comments start with a <number-sign> ( '#' ) and continue until an
9#     unescaped <newline> is reached.
10#
11#     When an escaped <newline> (one preceded by a <backslash>) is found
12#     anywhere in the makefile except in a command line, an include
13#     line, or a line immediately preceding an include line, it shall
14#     be replaced, along with any leading white space on the following
15#     line, with a single <space>.
16#
17#     When an escaped <newline> is found in a command line in a
18#     makefile, the command line shall contain the <backslash>, the
19#     <newline>, and the next line, except that the first character of
20#     the next line shall not be included if it is a <tab>.
21#
22#     When an escaped <newline> is found in an include line or in a
23#     line immediately preceding an include line, the behavior is
24#     unspecified.
25#
26# Notice that the behaviour of <backslash><backslash> or
27# <backslash><anything other than newline> is not mentioned.  I think
28# this implies that <backslash> should be taken literally everywhere
29# except before <newline>.
30#
31# Our practice, despite what POSIX might say, is that "\#"
32# in a variable assignment stores "#" as part of the value.
33# The "\" is not taken literally, and the "#" does not begin a comment.
34#
35# Also, our practice is that an even number of backslashes before a
36# newline in a variable assignment simply stores the backslashes as part
37# of the value, and treats the newline as though it was not escaped.
38# Similarly, ann even number of backslashes before a newline in a
39# command simply uses the backslashes as part of the command test, but
40# does not escape the newline.  This is compatible with GNU make.
