[Bug c/38447] special characters in C

------- Comment #1 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org  2008-12-08 19:36 -------
This bug is not related to GCC, it is up to printf/console to take into account
/b and printf is not part of GCC.  Also the standard says the behavior of the
display device is unspecified.
