The new optimized assignment in the devel branch that is used when
appending to a string has a bug with the way READLINE_LINE is checked
in bash_execute_unix_command:
v = bind_variable ("READLINE_LINE", rl_line_buffer, 0);
l = v ? value_cell (v) : 0;
# parse_and_execute ...
v = find_variable ("READLINE_LINE");
l1 = v ? value_cell (v) : 0;
if (l1 != l)
maybe_make_readline_line (value_cell (v));
For example:
$ bind -x '"\C-g": f'
$ f() { READLINE_LINE+=x; }
$ ^G
(nothing happens)
Not sure if any other places have the same issue; I couldn't
immediately find any.
