hi,
I poked into it a bit during the weekend; The problem is this:
In file parse-gram.y we have a rule for string_as_id:
string_as_id: STRING { $$ = symbol_get (quotearg_style (c_quoting_style,
$1), @1); symbol_class_set ($$, token_sym, @1, false); }
The token returned by lexer (STRING) is a quote mark (") but the result of
quotearg_style (c_quoting_style, $1) is this quote mark with a backslash
preceding it (and surrounded by quotes) ("\""); So in the symbol table, the
quote mark gets stored as a backslah and quote. When printed, the symbol
gets printed as such; Infact the .output file also shows it as \" in the
description of the grammar. Is there a cure to it?
Satya.

Could be, but I don't know what the problem is yet,
Can you please supply a self-contained example so
that we can reproduce the problem?
