Quote escape when saving .C

ROOT
1

Dear expert,

it seems that TCanvas::SaveAs is not properly excaping “quotes” when saving in .C format.

TCanvas c1
TH1F h("name", "\"title\"", 10, 0, 1)
h.Fill(0.2)
h.Draw()
c1.SaveAs("c1.C")

when executing the code, I get

Error: String literal syntax error c1.C:12:

in fact the quotes are not exaped:

TH1F *name = new TH1F("name",""title"",10,0,1); .

I agree this situation is very uncommon: unless you use RooFit. In fact by the default it sets the title of plots as Rootplot of “variable”.

Yes I see that. Will look at it.

Fixed. Thanks for reporting.

Thank you very much. Is it in the trunk? Will it be present in the next tag?
