Subject: [LTP] [PATCH] tst_test.sh: Replace GNU word boundary \b with \< in grep
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 07:16:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630071639.2248082-1-wakel@google.com> (raw)
From: Terence Tritton <ttritton@google.com>
The regex word boundary extension '\b' is a GNU extension and is not
supported by Toybox and lightweight POSIX regex implementations
(such as Bionic libc), causing grep to fail with:
grep: bad regex '^[^#]*\bTST_': trailing backslash (\)
Replace '\b' with '\<' to ensure shell tests run correctly on
lightweight environments such as Android (Toybox).
