nmake recompile failes - 21.3

[Dhruva Krishnamurthy]

Hello,
 I am building from latest (14th Feb IST) CVS (Emacs 21.3) on W2K using
 MSVC 6.0

Byte compiling for the following files fails due to "Invalid escape
character syntax".
It is referring to the escape char "?\s".

File: ruler-mode.el
At line #181

File: international/charecters.el
line:#86

with regards,
dhruva

Try with

nmake realclean
nmake bootstrap


                                                           /L/e/k/t/u

Does not help.
 I see your current promotion has removed the problem "?\s" escape char.
 It builds fine now. Thanks.

I don't understand.

AFAICS, you were getting an error with recompile because two elisp
modules use now the new ?\s syntax (which is safer than protecting the
space with a comment, as previously done), and you hadn't compiled the
new lread.c. Building or bootstrapping should fix it.

I didn't remove the two ?\s introduced in ruler-mode.el and
international/characters.el. They're still there.

Additionally, the following change:

	(read1): Signal an `invalid read syntax' error if a character
	constant is immediately followed by a digit or symbol character.

has uncovered ill-formated constant characters in some modules. Those
are fixed now, too.

                                                           /L/e/k/t/u
