usage of “\” in C?

Question

I was looking over this code, but i was unable to figure out why the usage of \"\\\" after the && operator?

if ((*(u32*)(kaddr + 0x64) == *(u32*)(kad         


        

Answer 1

Among its uses are Macro definitions, basically it tells the compiler not to stop at the end of the line but rater to continue. example:

#define ASSERT_NULL(value)      \
    do {                        \
        if((value) == NULL) {   \
            return true;        \
        }                       \
    } while(NULL)

Now, if you won't put \, you won't get the functionality you're looking for.
