----------------- KNOWN BUGS IN ZSH ----------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The pattern %?* matches names beginning with %? instead of names with at least two characters beginning with %. This is a hack to allow %?foo job substitution without quoting. This behaviour is incompatible with sh and ksh and may be removed in the future. A good fix would be to keep such patterns unchanged if they do not match regardless of the state of the nonomatch and nullglob options. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It is currently impossible to time builtins. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 40106: The comp* completion-related builtins (compadd, compset, etc) are run with $_comp_options in effect, rather than the user's options. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ users/20807: vcs_info quilt 'addon' mode: hook lookup context specifies the underlying VCS but not whether quilt is used. Workaround: test (( ${+funcstack[(r)VCS_INFO_quilt]} )). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 41184: 'exec' optimization for last command in a subshell should be skipped when STTY=... is set for that command ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 41203 and others: Make it easier to maintain C modules out of tree. (May require defining a stable API for modules, see 41254) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 44007 - Martijn - exit in trap executes rest of function See test case in Test/C03traps.ztst. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 45656: 'zsh -o nobanghist -o emacs' segfaults analysis in workers/45657 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 44133 debian #924736 (partial patch in 44134) three setopts following ` #` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 44850 terminal issues with continuation markers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 45422 _arguments !-x !+x ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 45482 print -v with multibyte characters ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 45568 repeat-count "illegal character" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 45656 -o nobanghist -o emacs segfaults ------------------------------------------------------------------------ users/24765 -direct terminals. Not a bug as such but we may need to do something if -direct values in TERM are ever common ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 45393/45396 [PATCH] avoid lseek(2) calls. 45768 is similar. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 45007 [PATCH] has_colors in configure.ac. The originator has a gentoo.org address which might provide some extra clues. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 44525, 45778 [PATCH] prompt redrawn on the wrong line upon SIGWINCH ------------------------------------------------------------------------ users/24904: 'func <(...) | wc -l' results in ENOENT on /proc/self/fd/13 % efe() cat $1 % efe <(seq 1 10) | wc -l cat: /proc/self/fd/13: No such file or directory 0 This occurs because pipelines fork to the left, and named functions become their own job, which means descriptors numbered >= 10 are closed, including those opened by process substitution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 45400: vared does not work in subshells, even when the parent shell is interactive and the subshell is the foreground job. The USEZLE option is always turned off in subshells, for reasons lost to history. There is a related, probably obsolete, vared special case for $TERM set to "emacs". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ users/26150: MULTIOS does not work with "exec": exec 3>/tmp/test1 3>/tmp/test2 causes a script to hang. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 47561: [PATCH v4] vcs_info: choose backend by basedir ------------------------------------------------------------------------
