BUG: The grep builtin should use line-buffered output when stdout is connected to a terminal. An user who uses grep -r in an interactive shell session may expect line-by-line output and stop grep using ctrl-c if he sees the expected match coming through. The AST grep builtin currently uses buffers larger than a 80x24 terminal can show, i.e. first grep -r prints nothing for a long time until the buffer is full and each time the buffer is flushed more information is send to the user than he can chew in a single window at a time. This is quite user unfriendly. Irek _______________________________________________ ast-users mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-users
