Subject: comments in command/process substitution and (z) PE
Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2018 19:05:41 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180126010540.GA21108@CptOrmolo.darkstar> (raw)
zshmisc(1) documents for comments:
In non-interactive shells, or in interactive shells with the
INTERACTIVE_COMMENTS option set, a word beginning with the third
character of the histchars parameter (`#' by default) causes that
word and all the following characters up to a newline to be ignored.
` command substituion prematurely ends comments, and (z) reflects that.
% setopt interactivecomments
% echo `echo foo #bar` baz
foo baz
% print -l ${(z)${:-'echo `echo foo #bar` baz'}}
echo
`echo foo #bar`
baz
$( command substitutions and parameter substitutions correctly do not
terminate the comment until the newline, but (z) PE parses the line
incorrectly.
% echo $(echo foo #bar) baz
cmdsubst>
% print -l ${(z)${:-'echo $(echo foo #bar) baz'}}
echo
$(echo foo #bar)
baz
% cat < <(echo foo #bar) baz
cmdsubst>
% print -l ${(z)${:-'cat < <(echo foo #bar) baz'}}
cat
<
<(echo foo #bar)
baz
