I am referring to: Why should text files end with a newline?
One of the answers quotes the C89 standard. Which in brief dictates that a file must end with a new line, which is not immediately preceded by a backslash.
Does that apply to the most recent C++ standard?
#include
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
return 0;
}
//\
Is the above valid? (Assuming there is a newline after //\, which I've been unable to display)

The given code is legal in the case of C++, but not for C.
Indeed, the C (N1570) standard says:
Each instance of a backslash character (\) immediately followed by a new-line
character is deleted, splicing physical source lines to form logical source lines.
Only the last backslash on any physical source line shall be eligible for being part
of such a splice. A source file that is not empty shall end in a new-line character,
which shall not be immediately preceded by a backslash character before any such
splicing takes place.
The C++ standard (N3797) formulates it a bit differently (emphasis mine):
Each instance of a backslash character (\) immediately followed by a new-line character is deleted,
splicing physical source lines to form logical source lines. Only the last backslash on any physical
source line shall be eligible for being part of such a splice. If, as a result, a character sequence that
matches the syntax of a universal-character-name is produced, the behavior is undefined. A source file
that is not empty and that does not end in a new-line character, or that ends in a new-line character
immediately preceded by a backslash character before any such splicing takes place, shall be processed
as if an additional new-line character were appended to the file.
