Isn't editline supposed to be compatible with readline?
My understanding is editline is (was) a "compatible" subset of readline. Looking at the readline docs ... http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/readline/rlman_47.html There are optional rl_filename_quoting_function and rl_filename_quote_characters which defaults to the null string, no quoting. This latest libedit 20180525-3.1 seems to not be compatible with these quoting options. > Maybe the multiword commands (e.g. the -v options) should be handled > in some other way? Or is that too much work? I'm not certain how that would be done, first we would add <SPACE> to the break characters: -- - rl_basic_word_break_characters = "\t\n\r"; + rl_basic_word_break_characters = " \t\n\r"; -- then possibly the command_name_generator() would use a 2 dimensional array to match ... not sure ... Alternatively, I used this patch below to ignore any backslash quoting, almost perfect except the stdout still contains a '\ ', while internally the backslash is ignored.
