Backslashes with Double Backslashes

I'm having a weird problem in Xcode 3.0. I'm
programming in C++ and I have some existing code I ported over from Windows
(via Perforce). When I compile the file I get the following warning coming
out of gcc:
"warning: multi-character character
constant"
The problem is always related to lines using
escape sequences:
e.g. char p = '\n';
In the Xcode editor window, the line appears
with one backslash and so it appears that the compiler error makes no sense.
However, if I view the same file with vi I see two backslashes i.e. char p =
'\\n';. Then all becomes clear.
After correcting the problem in vi,
everything compiles without problem. However, if I then go and make changes
using the Xcode editor, all backslashes are replaced by double backslashes
again! But as before, I only see the two backslashes if I view the file with
something like vi.
Change your Text Encoding format from "Non-Lossy ASCII". That's an
obscure legacy encoding that, well, escapes backslashes. You want UTF-8
or ASCII.
