Subject: Possible :q quoting bug
Date: Thu, 8 Aug 2019 20:36:00 +0430	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5E224043-AA93-4B39-94BB-6230A9A2737F@icloud.com> (raw)

Hi,
I expect this function to be idempotent on the command line:
```
Function reveal() {
eval “${@:q}”
}
```
But it’s not. It loses empty args.
I have written the following function to fix this ‘bug’:
```
gquote () {
	local i
	for i in "$@"
	do
		test -z "$i" && print -rn "''" " " || print -rn -- "${i:q}" " "
	done
}
```
