IDL Problem Code 70 with alias illegal-hex-escape

Want to disable me? Check out the configuration guide to learn more.

Execution Error

This is a fatal error that prevents IDL from compiling or running code

This problem is detected when a standalone escape character is in place.

Here's an example of this problem:

idl
a = `\x00 \XaF`
;         ^^^^ illegal hex escape

To fix this, remove the escape character

idl
a = `\x00`
;     ^^^^ OK!

Allowed Escape Characters

Here's a short list showing allowed escape characters that you can use:

idl
a = `\\`
a = `\$`
a = `\b`
a = `\f`
a = `\n`
a = `\r`
a = `\t`
a = `\v`
a = `\x00`
