zsh _multi_parts patch and question

[Marko Myllynen]

Hi,

First here's a trivial patch to mention the -i option for _multi_parts:

+item(tt(_multi_parts) [ tt(-i) ] var(sep) var(array))(
 The argument var(sep) is a separator character.
 The var(array) may be either the
 name of an array parameter or a literal array in the form


But I have a question as well, am I perhaps missing something obvious
or is this is a bug in multiparts - consider this example:

#compdef foo

local curcontext="$curcontext" state line expl      

_arguments -C -s -w \
    '(- *)'{-h,--help}'[display help information]' \
    '(- *)'{-V,--version}'[print program version]' \
    "(-t --test)"{-t+,--test}'[test]:test:->multipart' \
    '*:foo:_files' \
    && return 0

if [[ $state == multipart ]]; then
   # Ok
#  typeset -a res
#  res=( a.b.a a.b.b b.a.a b.a.b c.a.a c.a.b )
#  _wanted test expl test _multi_parts -i . res && return 0

  # Fail
  _wanted test expl test _multi_parts -i . \
    ( a.b.a a.b.b b.a.a b.a.b c.a.a c.a.b ) && return 0
fi

So the former approach works but according to the man page the latter
should work as well, no?

Thanks,

Thanks, I've pushed the patch.

You need to quote the literal array, for example,

_wanted test expl test _multi_parts -i . \
   '( a.b.a a.b.b b.a.a b.a.b c.a.a c.a.b )' && return 0

Ah, ok, now it's obvious, I think I was confused by to quoting in the
man page, this is what I see when in zshcompsys(1):

a literal array in the form `(foo bar)', a parenthesised list of words
