Hello, I'd like to propose two coding style guidelines:
1) Avoid fancy globbing in case labels, just use traditional style when possible. For example, do "--foo|--bar)" instead of "--@(foo|bar))". Rationale: the former is easier to read, often easier to grep, and doesn't confuse editors as bad as the latter (in my case GNU Emacs), and is concise enough. 2) Use [[ ]] instead of [ ] when testing multiple conditions ([ ] is fine for single conditions where the syntax works). Rationale: [[ ]] has short circuit behavior within one test containing multiple conditions separated by && or ||, while [ ] with -a or -o does not. Thus it can be more efficient in some cases and may reduce need for nesting conditions, and it's cleaner to write for example [[ ... && ... ]] than [ ... ] && [ ... ], and in general [[ ]] has more features. (I wouldn't be opposed to a guideline always preferring [[ ]] over [ ], multiple conditions inside it or not.) _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
