0001922: testing report submission - Austin Group Issue Tracker

stephane 2025-05-03 19:28 reporter bugnote:0007171	Here's the text of the actual submission I wanted to do, I see it being blocked as a comment. I'll truncate until it gets through: This is an objection to the resolution of 0001560 and a follow-up on (now withdrawn) 0001920

stephane 2025-05-03 19:29 reporter bugnote:0007172	Is it just this paragraph it doesn't like: While having operators that can safely deal with arbitrary strings of (non-null) bytes is a worthwhile endeavour, here the new required behaviour is inappropriate in locales where the character encoding is non-self-synchronising such as when the encoding of some characters contains the encoding of others, including the single byte ones that encode characters of the portable character set such as \, , ?, [ themselves involved as part of or after word splitting (backslash processing by the read utility, globbing by sh), as that means word splitting can result in characters being split in the middle and new different characters including \?[]'" to be introduced or removed by that splitting.

stephane 2025-05-03 19:32 reporter bugnote:0007173	Looks more like it's this one: 0001560 has changed the way word-splitting is meant to work (sorry for the spam, hopefully, that's my last one).
