"\x1337\xcafe"?

Show all headers | View raw

	Somehow, I assumed that the following two definitions are
	equivalent:

   unsigned char buf[]
     = ("\x1337\xcafe");

   unsigned char buf[]
     = ("\x13" "37\xca" "\xfe");

	However, it turns out that \x1337 is understood as 0x1337, which
	is then truncated to the size of unsigned char: 0x37.  Thus, the
	compiler reads the first definition as:

   unsigned char buf[]
     = ("\x37\xfe");

	I wonder what do the specifications say on this matter?

	TIA.
