Hi all. One can create a long string literal like this:
or:Code:char *mystring = "This is all one" " string";
C99 allows both styles. Which way's better for maximum compatibility?Code:char *mystring = "This is all one\ string";

Use the first one.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
I believe it's not called compound literal. Compound Literal
Btw, both of them are supported in C89.

Right, I assumed what "compound literal" meant, incorrectly. My bad.
I think the "This " "string" ".\n" technique seems much better.
