__FB_OPTION_ESCAPE__
Intrinsic define (macro value) set by the compiler
Syntax
`
__FB_OPTION_ESCAPE__
`
Description
Indicates if by default, string literals are processed for escape characters when not explicitly prefixed with the $ Operator for non-escaped strings, or the ! Operator for escaped strings.
The default method for processing string literals is set by usage of the -lang command line option during compilation or usage of `Option Escape` in the source file.
`__FB_OPTION_ESCAPE__` returns zero (0) if the option has not been set. Returns non-zero (-1) if the option has been set.
Example
`
#if( __FB_OPTION_ESCAPE__ <> 0 )
#error Option Escape must Not be used With This include file
#endif
