Subject: Bug with the new prompt redraw code
Date: Sat, 10 Jul 2004 20:47:38 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.60.0407102039330.24945@toltec.zanshin.com> (raw)
Consider the following:
PS1_first_line=$'%{\e[1;32m%}[%d]%{\e[0m%}\n'
PS1_second_line=$'%{\e[1;34m%}[%T]%{\e[1;32m%}%%%{\e[0m%} '
precmd() {
PS1="$PS1_first_line$PS1_second_line"
}
zle-line-init() {
PS1="$PS1_second_line"
}
zle -N zle-line-init
This was intended to cause zsh to redraw only the second line of the two-
line prompt at any time other than completely starting over with a new
command.
Instead it has the effect of printing a garbage prompt. This appears to
occur because (1) zle-line-init runs before the prompt is displayed, which
seems odd but wouldn't be a big deal except that (2) the prompt printing
code has stashed a pointer to the value of $PS1, which ends up pointing at
reclaimed memory when PS1 is re-assigned.
