No it doesn't do the whole job. If you have something like :

 fprintf (stderr, "Hello\nit's a \"test\"\n");

It will produce :

@54     string_cst       type: @67     strg: "Hello
it's a "test"
"  lngt: 21

So, the good output should be

@54     string_cst       type: @67     strg: "Hello\nit's a \"test\"\n"
        lngt: 21


Actually, strings with newlines, control characters and '"' are treated by
my parser. The only modification that I done in GCC is in file c-dump.c:

line 649:
---
648: case STRING_CST:
649:      fprintf (di->stream, "strg: \"%-7s\" ", TREE_STRING_POINTER (t));
                                      ^^    ^^
650:      dump_int (di, "lngt", TREE_STRING_LENGTH (t));
651:      break;

So, I can try to path GCC to make output match the input?
