Serial.println("'\n'); causes stack overflow

[tjnomad]

this statement: Serial.println("'\n');

causes a stack overflow. Obviously the missing " is not caught before the line ends!

It looks like a preprocessor issue. Please give a spin to the version of the IDE linked at #2636 (near the bottom of the conversation)

This has been resolved, the code makes it to the compiler and produces an error as expected.

IDE 1.5.7

sketch_may21a.ino: In function 'void setup()':
sketch_may21a.ino:6:3: error: 'Serial' was not declared in this scope
sketch_may21a.ino:7:1: error: expected primary-expression before '}' token
sketch_may21a.ino:7:1: error: expected ';' before '}' token

IDE 1.6.5 (source build)

sketch_may21a.ino:3:3: error: missing terminating " character
sketch_may21a.ino: In function 'void setup()':
sketch_may21a.ino:4:1: error: expected primary-expression before '}' token
sketch_may21a.ino:4:1: error: expected ';' before '}' token
missing terminating " character

Does this still cause problems on operating systems other than windows?
