Validator

Valid-escape

Validate an escape sequence.

Signature
(valid-escape esc max) → (mv erp code)
Arguments: esc — Guard (escapep esc).; max — Guard (natp max).
Returns: code — Type (natp code).

If the escape sequence is valid, we return its character code. For simple and octal escapes, and for universal character names, we use separate validation functions. For a hexadecimal escape, we calculate the numeric value, and we subject them to same restrictions as octal escapes [C:6.4.4.4/9] [C:6.4.5/4].

Although [C] does not seem to state that explicitly, it seems reasonable that the same restriction applies to universal character names; we will revise this if that turns out to be not the case.
