RFA: c-lang.c -vs- \0

- Subject: RFA: c-lang.c -vs- \0
- Reply-to: tromey at redhat dot com
This is an updated version of my \0-printing patch.
In double-quoted strings we now print \0 as "\000" to avoid ambiguity.
In single-quoted output we still print '\0'.
There is also a test suite patch enclosed. I didn't add a new test,
as this functionality is already adequately tested. However, I did
update the existing tests to reflect the new output.
Tested with no regressions on x86 Red Hat Linux 7.3.
As usual, built with the usual warnings enabled and -Werror.
Ok to commit?
Tom
