* 3233 - change how Mu escapes stringsKartik K. Agaram2016-08-201-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Thanks Sam Putman for helping think through this idea. When you encounter a backslash, strip it out and pass through any following run of backslashes. If we 'escaped' a single following character like C, then the character '\' would be the same as: '\\' escaped once '\\\\' escaped twice '\\\\\\\\' escaped thrice (8 backslashes) ..and so on, the number of backslashes doubling each time. Instead, our approach is to make the character '\' the same as: '\\' escaped once '\\\' escaped twice '\\\\' escaped thrice ..and so on, the number of backslashes merely increasing by one each time. This approach only works as long as backslashes aren't also overloaded to create special characters. So Mu doesn't follow C's approach of overloading backslashes both to escape quote characters and also as a notation for unprintable characters like '\n'.

| | | | | | | This is part of efforts to allow students to transition gradually from the sandbox to running programs directly on the commandline, writing real scenarios, etc. Running on the commandline requires 'main', but overriding 'main' would mess up edit/ which is itself a Mu program.

| | | | | | | | | | Standardize quotes around reagents in error messages. I'm still sure there's issues. For example, the messages when type-checking 'copy'. I'm not putting quotes around them because in layer 60 I end up creating dilated reagents, and then it's a bit much to have quotes and (two kinds of) brackets. But I'm sure I'm doing that somewhere..
