We only care about two specific sequences here: \\\r\n or \\\n, not a backslash followed by arbitrary whitespace.

Variable names should start with a capital letter: TextToLex. Same elsewhere.

Please clang-format.

I just saw that some functions (e.g. line 1285 in this file) accept whitespaces between escape character and new line. How about now?

Indeed, both clang and gcc accept whitespace between the backslash and the newline character and issue a diagnostic: https://godbolt.org/g/PUCTzF.

This should probably be done similar to Lexer::getEscapedNewLineSize, but in reverse:

assert(isVerticalWhitespace(*P));
--P;
if (P >= BufferStart && isVerticalWhitespace(*P) && *P != P[1]) // Skip the second character of `\r\n` or `\n\r`.
  --P;
// Clang allows horizontal whitespace between backslash and new-line with a warning. Skip it.
while (P >= BufferStart && isHorizontalWhitespace(*P))
  --P;
return P >= BufferStart && *P == '\\';

I'd add a bunch of tests for this function specifically:

<backslash><\r> -> true
<backslash><\n> -> true
<backslash><\r><\n> -> true
<backslash><\n><\r> -> true
<backslash><space><tab><\v><\f><\r> -> true
<backslash><space><tab><\v><\f><\r><\n> -> true
<backslash><\r><\r> -> false
<backslash><\r><\r><\n> -> false
<backslash><\n><\n> -> false

Paweł, are you planning to finish this patch?

Oh, sorry about this - I forgot. I will send patch during this weekend

No worries, I just stumbled upon the bug and recalled that there had been a patch to fix it.

Added tests for isNewLineEscaped - this fixed some corner cases

Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation.

This looks much better now, thanks! A few more comments though.

The way the function is exposed to the test may lead to confusion. I'd either properly declare it in the header (and place it in a namespace, if it is not yet) or at least leave a comment here that the function is not static, since it needs to be exposed to the test.

nit: Placing the Str > BufferStart first would make it more obvious that Str can be safely dereferenced.

unittests/Lex/LexerTest.cpp
378–393

I would better unroll the loop:

auto endsWithEscapedNewline = [] (const char *S) {
  return isNewLineEscaped(S, S + strlen(S) - 1);
};
EXPECT_TRUE(endsWithEscapedNewline("\\\r"));
EXPECT_TRUE(endsWithEscapedNewline("\\\n"));
...
EXPECT_FALSE(endsWithEscapedNewline("\\\r\r"));
...

This would simplify the test and make EXPECT_* macro output sufficient to detect failing patterns without any clarifying messages.

Ok, I have made isNewLineEscaped a static method of Lexer - in Lexer.h there were no global function declaration and I didn't like the idea of introducing one.
I would make it protected/private member but it have to be visible to unit tests (and introducing friend classes just for this method doesn't seem worth it).

Applied clang-format

Looks good with one nit.

Do you need someone to commit the patch for you after you address the comment?

lib/Lex/Lexer.cpp
468–476

The logic is hard to get here. I'd use a single if and reverse the condition to get rid of the continues:

if (isVerticalWhitespace(*LexStart) && !Lexer::isNewLineEscaped(BufStart, LexStart)) {
  ++LexStart;
  break;
}

I don't have commit rights yet so I would be grateful for help in this matter :)

Yes, I know - I thought that more vertical code composition would help
