| Summary | 0000264: sed addr in braces | ||||
| Description | The description of the { command verb begins: [2addr] {function function ... } Execute a list of sed functions only when the pattern space is selected. Since it refers to "function(s)", and the beginning of the EXTENDED DESCRIPTION says a function is a command verb followed by any applicable arguments, this means sed is not required to support the use of addresses within braces. It seems likely that this is unintentional, as such usage is common in applications (and applications which use it do not appear to be having any portability problems). For example: sed -n '1,/^$/{ /^Subject: /p }' To require sed to support the use of addresses within braces, the description should use the term "editing command" instead of "function". | ||||
| Desired Action | Change "function" to "editing command" throughout the description of the { command verb. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

This request was originally raised against the previous version as ERN181, and received the following disposition: Accept_X___ Accept as marked below_____ Duplicate_____ Reject_____ Rationale for rejected or partial changes: Send down the interps track std is clear, std is wrong However, it was accepted too late for inclusion in the 2008 edition of the standard, and appears to have been overlooked until now when converting the old database to this bug tracker. |
