Subject: Should (z) PE flag split & during expansion?
Date: Sat, 3 Jun 2023 14:00:09 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <rfqgtwa77p6aklvn6y4pcx2zu4jwmkd7f4cw44ygmtzj55izi6@au6wtpuvowe6> (raw)
The following:
printf '<%s>' ${(z)${:-'!-2:&'}}
Yields this:
<!-2:><&>
Which does not make sense if we consider that & is valid in parameter
expansions. At least for history expansions, such as would be the case
for the following setup:
echo foo_replaceme_bar
echo baz_replaceme_qux
!-2:s/replaceme/subst/ && !-1:&
I realize the manual (14.1.4) states "In parameter expansion the &
must appear inside braces, and in filename generation it must be
quoted with a backslash."
But even so, the following:
printf '<%s>' ${(z)${:-'!{-2:&}'}}
Yields this:
<!{-2:><&><}>
This was identified in issue #929 in zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting
on GitHub.
