strconv: Fix escaped backslashes \\ in braces ${} Fixes https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/6359 and several related issues by unescaping a double backslash within braces to a single backslash. This bumps into the bit of HIL that still hangs out in HCL - for values that aren't interpolated, like Terraform's variable defaults - users were unable to get a backslash to show up within `${}`. That's because `${}` is handled specially to allow for, e.g., double quotes inside of braces. Here, we add `\\` as a special cased escape (along with `\"`) so users can get backslashes in these scenarios by doubling them up. 2016-06-06 18:55:39 +00:00			`bar = "new\nline"`

Remove BC escaped double quote behavior When we switched to the current edition of the HCL parser, we inadvertently broke some undocumented behavior where users could successfully used escaped double quotes in a nested interpolation like this: foo = "${somefunc(\"somearg\")}" The proper syntax here is: foo = "${somefunc("somearg")}" Because once you are inside the interpolation braces, the "quoting context" is different. At the time, while we didn't like the fact that the non-standard syntax was in the wild, we didn't want to break BC, so we treated it as a bug and fixed it in #62. Now that we are at the moment of a major Terraform release, we can yank the BC compatible behavior, which fixes a currently broken use case - there is no way to express strings with double quotes in them from inside interpolation braces. foo = "${somefunc("\"inquotes\"")}" After merge and a dep upgrade, this will take care of https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/5550 2016-06-16 17:30:20 +00:00			`nestedquotes = "${"\"stringwrappedinquotes\""}"`
