Subject: Bug in zsh filename completion (bad one...)
Date: Wed, 20 Mar 1996 21:10:13 +0200 (EET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <96Mar20.211019+0200eet_dst.12050-25005+162@utu.fi> (raw)
Dear developers,
I found a pretty annoying bug in zsh-2.6-beta13, in its
filename completion. The first characters of all filenames are missing,
like this:
sol|21:02|>ls <press TAB or ctrl-d>
amp-h.in h_startups local.m4 nfig.h.in nfigure.in
ADME angeLog il nctions nfig.log sc
STALL artupFiles installdirs nfig.cache nfig.status stall-sh
TA-FAQ c kefile nfig.guess nfig.sub
amp-h config.h kefile.in nfig.h nfigure
This should be:
ChangeLog Makefile Util/ config.h.in install-sh*
Doc/ Makefile.in acconfig.h config.log mkinstalldirs*
Etc/ Misc/ aclocal.m4 config.status* stamp-h
Functions/ README config.cache config.sub* stamp-h.in
INSTALL Src/ config.guess* configure* zsh_startups
META-FAQ StartupFiles/ config.h configure.in
The same behaviour appears in all filename completion, including the
use of wildcard characters. I.e. ls * will result the same erroneous
output.
The system is Solaris 2.4 on sparc, compiled with either gcc-2.7.2 or
SunPro 3.0.1. The compiler does not have any effect, i.e. the bug is
not there.
The zsh works just fine on Solaris 2.5x86 (Intel-Solaris), the above
bug does not show up at all. Consequently, the bug is likely to be in
the Solaris-libraries (which system call?).
There is one difference in compiling zsh on the two above systems:
Solaris 2.4 requires linking of /usr/ucblib/libucb.a or .so to get the
routine "killpg". The Solaris 2.5 has the same routine in its
/usr/lib/libc.so, not libucb.a. However, I don't think the bug is in
the "kill process group" call ;).
It would be nice, if there was a workaround to the problem other than
updating to Solaris 2.5 ;). Well, this is going to happen anyway, some
time, but until then...
Yours,
ArNO
