To prevent trigraph expansion, the second ? should be escaped.

\??= would trigger the warning "unsupported escape sequence '\#’”  because 
trigraph expansion occurs before escape sequence conversion.

None of this is relevant in tcc, but it is still part of the C standard.
A more recent and less problematic oddity in the C standard syntax is digraphs.
Good news!  tcc does not support digraphs either!
