Hi ross After querying for the current maintainer of bash Chet Ramey, he said the devel branch of bash have fixed it. So I will import those patchs later for the bash tests suite. We can check the patchs at: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/commit/tests/intl.right?h=devel&id=85ec0778f9d778e1820fb8c0e3e996f2d1103b45 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/diff/tests/intl.right?h=devel&id=74b8cbb41398b4453d8ba04d0cdd1b25f9dcb9e3 //dengke -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: bash: remove the format string "%q" in the unicode3.sub Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2016 10:39:13 -0400 From: Chet Ramey Reply-To: chet.ramey@case.edu To: dengke.du@windriver.com , bug-bash@gnu.org CC: chet.ramey@case.edu On 8/9/16 3:18 AM, dengke.du@windriver.com wrote: > Hi all > > When I run the tests for the bash, the sub-test unicode3.sub of intl.tests > failed. > > The sub-test unicode3.sub contain the following: > > payload=$'\065\247\100\063\231\053\306\123\070\237\242\352\263' > "$payload" > printf %q "$payload" > > In this situation, the format string "%q" in command printf means that when the > character in the payload is not in {alpha & digit & punctuation & ISO > 646(7-bit)}, it > would print the string with ANSI-C style quoted string: $'...' , we can > check the source code This has already been changed in the devel branch (back in May, 2015), and the test case and tets output was changed at the same time. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRU chet@case.edu http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/
