Possible issue with escape characters

[sjdevries]

I'm trying to use litcrypt to encrypt some strings and have been running into an issue using strings containing escape characters, specifically backslashes.

I'm fairly new to rust, so maybe I am doing something wrong. The main function creates the string values and sends them to the net_use function. That function uses command to call the windows net use command to map a network drive.

My cargo.toml as the following:

[dependencies]
litcrypt = "0.3"

Here is the main function:

use std::process::Command;  // Import Command, used for the net_use function
#[macro_use]
extern crate litcrypt;      // Import litcrypt and initialize the crate.
use_litcrypt!();

fn main() {
    // encrypt parameters so they are not easily visible in the final executabale.
    let drive_letter = lc!("Z:");
    let drive_label = lc!("My Share Label");
    let share_path = lc!("\\\\server\\share\\subdir");
    //let share_path = String::from("\\\\server\\share\\subdir");
    let user = lc!("my_secret_user");
    let password = lc!("my_secret_password");
    let persistent = true;
    let remove = true;
    let savecred = false;
    net_use(&drive_letter, &drive_label, &share_path, &user, &password, persistent, remove, savecred);
}

The output I get is:

Network share "\\\\server\\share\\subdir" not found.  No delete required.
Drive label "My Share Label" for drive Z: pointing to "\\\\server\\share\\subdir" added successfully.
... error info because there is no real share ...

When using a real share, it fails to find an actual share and connect, because the share_path variable has extra backslashes in it as shown in the output above. When I reverse the lines for the share_path variable I get the expected output result.

Modified lines:

    //let share_path = lc!("\\\\server\\share\\subdir");
    let share_path = String::from("\\\\server\\share\\subdir");

The output I get is:

Network share "\\server\share\subdir" not found.  No delete required.
Drive label "My Share Label" for drive Z: pointing to "\\server\share\subdir" added successfully.

The backslashes are properly escaped in the above output string. When I change the values to a real share the net_use function does find the share, delete the previous mapped drive, labels new mapped drive, and create a new mapped drive as expected.

If I try to change the line as follows, it fails to compile at all because it cannot understand the escape characters.
let share_path = lc!("\\server\share\subdir");

The following also seems to work correctly:

    let server = lc!("server");
    let share = lc!("share");
    let subdir = lc!("subdir");
    let share_path = format!("\\\\{}\\{}\\{}", server, share, subdir);

Is there any specific way escaped characters should be handled with litcrypt?
Hopefully, this is enough information to create a simple test case and confirm if it an issue.

This is a more telling example:

use litcrypt2::*;

use_litcrypt!();

fn main() {
    assert_eq!(lc!("\"hello\""), "\"hello\"");
}

thread 'main' panicked at src/main.rs:6:5:
assertion `left == right` failed
  left: "\\\"hello\\\""
 right: "\"hello\""
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
