CMake Error at cmake/OpenCVModule.cmake:368 (_glob_locations):
Syntax error in cmake code at
E:/opencv_github/opencv/cmake/OpenCVModule.cmake:368
when parsing string
E:\opencv_github\opencv_contrib\modules
Invalid character escape '\o'.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
modules/CMakeLists.txt:7 (ocv_glob_modules)
This error is only generated when i set OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH,
I have set the path to the modules folder after taking checkout of opencv_contrib.

Research direction
Start with cmake/OpenCVModule.cmake at line 368 and the call from modules/CMakeLists.txt. Reproduce the configuration on Windows with OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH set to the checked-out opencv_contrib modules directory. Done means CMake accepts the path and continues configuring without the invalid character escape error.
