An error found once the script is exhausted, like an unterminated
command, was reported as ":0:N" with no input name. Keep the last input
name and line number so the error points at the right line.
A range address that ended early made the parser panic: `1~` read past
the end of the line, and `1~p`, `1,~p` or `1,p` handed a command letter
to the address parser, which only knew how to panic on it. A missing
~step now counts as 0, and a comma with no address after it is reported
as an unexpected `,'. The address parser returns an error instead of
panicking.
A step of 0 was not handled either: `2,~0` ran to the end of the input
instead of selecting line 2 alone, and `0~0`, which can select no line,
was accepted.
Start an mdBook under docs/, laid out as in coreutils, and move the list of
extensions and incompatibilities out of the README into it. The README keeps
a pointer.
A Documentation workflow builds the book with mdbook 0.5.0, the version the
uutils website uses, whenever docs/ changes, and uploads it as an artifact.
mdbook 0.5 rejects the `multilingual` field coreutils still carries (the
website strips it before building), so the book leaves it out.
sed -i with more than one file treated them as one continuous stream:
line numbers continued across files, $ matched only the last line of
the last file, and N could join lines from different files. GNU sed
documents -i as implying -s, so enable separate-file processing for
--in-place as well as --separate.
There was a second bug when automatic output was suppressed. At the end
of a file, process_file cleared a pending N action only when
!context.quiet. With -n, the action carried into the next file and
joined with its first line. Clear the action in either mode, but write
the pattern space only when automatic output is enabled.
The same bug can be reproduced without -i. With f1 containing a1, a2,
a3 and f2 containing b1, b2, b3:
sed -n -s -e 'N;s/\n/+/;p' f1 f2
Before this change it prints a1+a2, a3+b1, b2+b3. GNU prints a1+a2,
b1+b2.
Add coverage for line numbers, $, ranges, N across file boundaries,
hold space, Q, backup suffixes, and -n.
The R command reads one line at a time from a named file. All R commands
naming the same file share a single cursor so they read successive lines,
matching GNU sed. Rejected under --sandbox like the other file commands.
Includes unit and integration tests. Makes the GNU sed testsuite `cmd-R`
test pass.
Adjust `l` command to list Unicode characters by default as
octal byte sequences of the corresponding UTF-8 bytes.
A new -U --uutil-extensions option allows listing them
with the common Unicode \u and \U hex escapes.
Without en_US.UTF-8, ru_RU.UTF-8 and el_GR.iso88597 the testsuite silently
skips eight multibyte tests, hiding both regressions and improvements.
Also make require_el_iso88597_locale_ probe locale -a instead of always
skipping.
