Hi All,

 

Is the EmbeddedPkg being actively developed by the Tianocore / edk2 community?

 

I saw following Warnings & errors while trying to build it.

 

Want to check with the community leaders if it is worth investing time in raising BZ and fixing these errors / warnings?

 

Please find the details of the errors / warnings as given below:

 

1)  

SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\C'

 

This warning message is seen with the latest edk2 code available in the main branch.

part of the build logs are copied over here for reference.
