I noticed that fnmatch() behaviour with a trailing unescaped backslash
differs between glibc and musl:
$ cat foo.c
#include <assert.h>
#include <fnmatch.h>
int main(void) {
assert(fnmatch("\\", "\\", 0) != 0);
return 0;
}
$ gcc foo.c -o foo && ./foo
$ musl-gcc foo.c -o foo && ./foo
Assertion failed: fnmatch("\\", "\\", 0) != 0 (foo.c: main: 5)
In https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/fnmatch.html,
POSIX says:
> If pattern ends with an unescaped <backslash>, fnmatch() shall return a non-zero value (indicating either no match or an error).
And interestingly, it was a defect report from Rich that led to that
wording: https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=806
