| Summary | 0000961: permit <semicolon> to terminate {...} command | ||||
| Description | As reported in 0000944, the following is widely supported by existing implementations: sed '{=;};{=;}'However, the following is not: sed '/a/{/b/{=;=;};}'It is unclear why there is a difference in behavior in these two cases; perhaps the nesting has something to do with it.From a user's perspective, it would be nice if all implementations were required to support terminating brace groups with a semicolon regardless of where they appeared. | ||||
| Desired Action | After applying the changes from 0000944, change page 3182 line 106404 from:Editing commands other than {...}, a, b, c, i, r, t, w, :, and # can be followed by a <semicolon>, optional <blank> characters, and another editing command.to: Editing commands other than a, b, c, i, r, t, w, :, and # can be followed by a <semicolon>, optional <blank> characters, and another editing command. | ||||
