Using ex, I'm seeing the following odd behavior when entering a comment:
[[[
$ echo blah > foo.txt
$ ex foo.txt
"foo.txt" 1L, 5C
Entering Ex mode. Type "visual" to go to Normal mode.
:"
E501: At end-of-file
:
]]]
This used to be fine in older versions of vim (say 6.3). The change
that seems to be responsible would be:
[[[
--- ex_docmd.c 2005/02/12 14:18:27 1.31
+++ ex_docmd.c 2005/02/22 08:32:32 1.32
@@ -1671,7 +1688,10 @@
/* ignore comment and empty lines */
if (*ea.cmd == '"' || *ea.cmd == NUL)
+ {
+ ex_pressedreturn = TRUE;
goto doend;
+ }
/*
* 2. handle command modifiers.
]]]
Which is rev 1.32 of vim7/src/ex_docmd.c. The revlog for 1.32 of
ex_docmd.c is "updated for version 7.0051" which leads me to believe
this is from another patch or repository collection somewhere (not
familiar with how vim's repositories are managed).
I would expect that comments would not trigger an EOF error. It causes
ex to exit with an error code if you put a comment in script that you
feed in. It also appears that other versions of ex (FreeBSD, Sun) don't
generate this error.
Thoughts?
