Subject: What's the reasoning behind z & s returning nular for empty input?
Date: Sat, 9 Nov 2019 08:26:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKc7PVCD7e=vATDBc7px1d4XNYiKu1=2iZP9YaJ5PutgsDTsoQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi
arr=( "${(s:,:):-}" )
print -r ${#arr} ${(q)arr}
Output: 1 ''
arr=( "${(z):-}" )
print -r ${#arr} ${(q)arr}
Output: 1 ''
I guess the code is returning the nular (or something similar, as
nular is not defined in subst.c). I wonder why? Is the reason
historical? I always have to add exceptions to the code, especially
for (z). Maybe I'm not seeing some reason for this behavior?
