[PATCH] gen_compile_commands: use raw string when replacing \#

From: Jeremy Cline
Date: Fri Sep 29 2023 - 15:05:00 EST


I noticed this since I'm running Python 3.12-rc3, which emits
"SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\#'" when running this script.
According to the Python 3.12 release notes this will eventually become a
SyntaxError.

Based on the comment in the code, I believe the intention was to match
the literal string "\#". Marking it as a raw string will stop Python
from trying to treat it as an escape sequence and behave as intended.
