New issue 287 by [email protected]: Newline substitution behaviour
https://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=287
Since patch 7.4.232 (http://markmail.org/message/vo7ruair5raccawp), vim
recognizes 's/\n//' as a special case, and transforms it into a join
command.
The generated join command involves lines in command line-range.
Thus, '1,3s/\n//' joins lines 1, 2, and 3, which implies it only deletes 2
newlines (not 3). Also, for the particular case of just one line, 's/\n//'
does nothing. I mean, do_join gets invoked, but it does nothing in that
case.
Now, another interpretation would be possible, in which the generated join
should involve lines in rage plus one. This is, '1,3s/\n//' would join 4
lines, effectively deleting 3 newlines, and 's/\n//' would join current
line with the next one, deleting 1 newline.
Then, my question is: Is current behaviour the canonical one, or is it a
bug? Div vim previous to 7.4.232 behave the same?
Thanks.
