Update of bug #64051 (project octave):

Follow-up Comment #1:

Yes, I think you are correct that the string "\0" should be generated for the
null byte.  The code is in libinterp/corefcn/utils.cc:undo_string_escape.  It
is quoted below


const char * undo_string_escape (char c)
{
  if (! c)
    return "";

  switch (c)
    {
    case '\0':
      return R"(\0)";

    case '\a':
      return R"(\a)";


As you can see, it looks like it is supposed to generate "\0".

Marking as confirmed.
