I'm not sure. I tried to compare a build with and without musl, and
history looks broken on musl builds.
So I use the same steps as in the test:
>>> import readline
>>> readline.clear_history()
>>> readline.add_history("first line")
>>> readline.add_history("second line")
>>> readline.write_history_file("/hist")
>>> readline.add_history("third line")
>>> readline.set_history_length(2)
>>> readline.append_history_file(1, "/hist")
>>> readline.clear_history()
>>> readline.read_history_file("/hist")
>>> self.assertEqual(readline.get_history_item(1), "second line")
On the glibc build, I have:
root@qemux86-64:~# cat /hist
_HiStOrY_V2_
second\040line
third\040line
While on the musl build, I have:
root@qemux86-64:~# cat /hist
_HiStOrY_V2_
_HiStOrY_V2_
third\040line
Now it's funny, as both build are using editline, but the behaviour is
different. It might be that the issue is not just in python.
