Subject: Bug in RubyInline 1.0.5

The following code fragment does not compile, using ruby 1.7.2 (2002-07-02)
[i386-mswin32]

#----------------------------------------------------------------------
require "inline"
include Inline

def showstr(*args)
inline args, <<END1
    #include <stdio.h>
    printf("%s\n",STR2CSTR(argv[0]));
    return 0;
END
end

showstr('Hello RubyInline')
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The work-around is to rewrite the printf( ) as follows:

printf("%s\\n",STR2CSTR(argv[0]));
              ^^^
Notice  the double back slash after %s.

Hoping that this is not a "feature" ;-)

Thanks,
