Well, ok, but there are several things to consider. In C, the actual
end-of-line character of the platform doesn't matter. It is all
abstracted as '\n' (line feed) in the code and the compiler produces
whatever is appropriate for the platform it compiles for.
An explicit '\r' in C code thus doesn't make much sense.
