### C string and raw C string literals

A _C string literal_ is a sequence of Unicode characters and _escapes_,
preceded by the characters `U+0063` (`c`) and `U+0022` (double-quote), and
followed by the character `U+0022`. If the character `U+0022` is present within
the literal, it must be _escaped_ by a preceding `U+005C` (`\`) character.
Alternatively, a C string literal can be a _raw C string literal_, defined
below. The type of a C string literal is [`&core::ffi::CStr`][CStr].
[CStr]: ../core/ffi/struct.CStr.html
C strings are implicitly terminated by byte `0x00`, so the C string literal
`c""` is equivalent to manually constructing a `&CStr` from the byte string
literal `b"\x00"`. Other than the implicit terminator, byte `0x00` is not
permitted within a C string.
Some additional _escapes_ are available in non-raw C string literals. An escape
starts with a `U+005C` (`\`) and continues with one of the following forms:
* A _byte escape_ escape starts with `U+0078` (`x`) and is followed by exactly
two _hex digits_. It denotes the byte equal to the provided hex value.
* A _24-bit code point escape_ starts with `U+0075` (`u`) and is followed
by up to six _hex digits_ surrounded by braces `U+007B` (`{`) and `U+007D`
(`}`). It denotes the Unicode code point equal to the provided hex value,
encoded as UTF-8.
* A _whitespace escape_ is one of the characters `U+006E` (`n`), `U+0072`
(`r`), or `U+0074` (`t`), denoting the bytes values `0x0A` (ASCII LF),
`0x0D` (ASCII CR) or `0x09` (ASCII HT) respectively.
* The _backslash escape_ is the character `U+005C` (`\`) which must be
escaped in order to denote its ASCII encoding `0x5C`.
The escape sequences `\0`, `\x00`, and `\u{0000}` are permitted within the token
but will be rejected as invalid, as C strings may not contain byte `0x00` except
as the implicit terminator.
A C string represents bytes with no defined encoding, but a C string literal
may contain Unicode characters above `U+007F`. Such characters will be replaced
with the bytes of that character's UTF-8 representation.
The following C string literals are equivalent:
```rust
c"æ"; // LATIN SMALL LETTER AE (U+00E6)
c"\u{00E6}";
c"\xC3\xA6";
```
> **Edition Differences**: C string literals are accepted in the 2021 edition or
> later. In earlier additions the token `c""` is lexed as `c ""`.
#### Raw C string literals

> RAW_C_STRING_CONTENT :\
> &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; `"` ( ~ _IsolatedCR_ )<sup>* (non-greedy)</sup> `"`\
> &nbsp;&nbsp; | `#` RAW_C_STRING_CONTENT `#`
Raw C string literals do not process any escapes. They start with the
character `U+0063` (`c`), followed by `U+0072` (`r`), followed by fewer than 256
of the character `U+0023` (`#`), and a `U+0022` (double-quote) character. The
_raw C string body_ can contain any sequence of Unicode characters and is
terminated only by another `U+0022` (double-quote) character, followed by the
same number of `U+0023` (`#`) characters that preceded the opening `U+0022`
(double-quote) character.
All characters contained in the raw C string body represent themselves in UTF-8
encoding. The characters `U+0022` (double-quote) (except when followed by at
least as many `U+0023` (`#`) characters as were used to start the raw C string
literal) or `U+005C` (`\`) do not have any special meaning.
> **Edition Differences**: Raw C string literals are accepted in the 2021

> and `cr#""#` is lexed as `cr #""#` (which is non-grammatical).
