Subject: [BUG] Alias with unclosed quote leaves incorrect string in history
Date: Sun, 08 Mar 2015 01:11:17 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5524431425766277@web26o.yandex.ru> (raw)
Given the following input:
===================================
% alias -g S='"'
% echo S abc def S
dquote> "
abc def S
%
===================================
if I press Up now it will show
===================================
% echo S" abc def S
"
===================================
which is the original string + a quote after first `S` which is wrong.
Second S also does not end the string, but I do not think this is a bug.
Tested on zsh -f with zsh-5.0.7-r2 (-r2 is an ebuild version, modified with patch from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=538684) and commit 0e319ecadc86a589c9f28819efae9e0bf972ee1b.
Same thing will happen if I e.g. have unclosed `$(` or `'` in an alias. I think it is more correct to deal with this problem by errorring out when user tries to use such an alias.
