[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #33611] Matlab-incompatible character string escape processing

[Rik]

Update of bug #33611 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info

Follow-up Comment #3:

Is the particular example an actual problem?  It appears that it might not
even run on Matlab.  For example, what does Matlab do for


disp "foo\xar"


I would think it would produce an error because the string delimiter in Matlab
is a single quote.  So it looks like the code to run would be


disp 'foo\xar'


and the eval version would be


eval ('disp ''foo\xar''')


which very properly doesn't do escape sequences.
