Greetings,
I'm working on bug 244 ( http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=244 ).
While writing the tests for my fix, I realised that I am not certain
what the filter behaviour should be in certain cases.
For example, suppose that we have something tagged as such:
file path=/usr/bin/hostname arch=386 version=1.0
Should arch=386 & version=1 match the first line?
Or, should the first line only match if arch=386 & version=1.0?
I would prefer the latter behaviour so that I can treat numeric values
for filters as simple strings to avoid problems with precision loss,
etc.
I really don't want to have to treat numeric values as floating point,
for example.
Should we limit numeric values to decimal?
Cheers,
