Subject: weird error messages from __COPYRIGHT macro
Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 12:56:16 +0200

Here is a source file which looks fine to me, but for which I get
unexpected assembler warnings:

	#include <sys/cdefs.h>

	__COPYRIGHT("@(#) Copyright (c) 1983, 1988, 1993\n"
		    "The Regents of the University of California."
		    "  All rights reserved.\n");

	int
	main(void)
	{

		exit(0);
	}

The compiler warnings follow:

/tmp/ccZ16701.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccZ16701.s:5: Warning: Unterminated string: Newline inserted.
/tmp/ccZ16701.s:6: Warning: Unterminated string: Newline inserted.

I'm led to believe that these error messages are not present on a NetBSD
box.  So is this broken usage of __COPYRIGHT(), or is this pre-processor
or assembler breakage?

And please don't whine about me about string concatenation -- it's legal
in ANSI C. :-)

Thanks,
Sheldon.
