Hey Jens,
Thanks for getting back to me.
It's straightforward to manifest. Assume one has a working Thrift and a
working Dart installation.
$ echo 'const string example = "hello$"' > example.thrift
$ thrift --gen dart example.thrift
$ dart gen-dart/example/lib/src/example_constants.dart
'example/lib/src/example_constants.dart': error: line 10 pos 40: illegal
character after $ in string interpolation
static final String example = 'hello$';
^
If i modify the string by hand to be a raw string (s/'hello$'/r'/hello$'/)
the problem goes away.
Thanks for helping,
Horia
