Christoph,

Thank you for reporting this. I fixed this in cint5.13.74.

Dear Root developers,

here is a suggestion for an CINT/rootcint improvement:

When calling the C preprocessor, CINT should escape the special
characters. My real-world example call:

rootcint -DCLHEP_TARGET_H=\"${PWD}/cintdict/CLHEP-rootcint.h\"
...

{ in a certain CLHEP configuration file it reads:
#include CLHEP_TARGET_H }

For the files, which have to go through the preprocessor, CINT adds the
option -DCLHEP_TARGET_H="/afs/[...]/cintdict/CLHEP-rootcint.h", which
leads to the definition without quotes. Is it possible to fix that?

Kind regards
Christoph
