Hey all,
Just starting to play around with BeOS… d/l BeOS PE MAX v3.1 Beta 1, and noticed that this was one of the best forums, in terms of activity. I thought I’d post a question since there seems to be some very knowledgeable people here.
In the sample code, BasicButton, there is a string literal that is defined in one of the header files:
#define BUTTON_MSG ‘PRES’
This string literal gets used in the constructor of a BMessage object, which in turn is used in the constructor of a BButton object.
What I’m scratching my head about is that I’ve never seen string literals in C/C++ use single quotations. I was thinking that this is illegal. I notice that the sample code compiles and runs with seemingly no problem. Can someone clarify what the heck is going on?
Thanks!
