I agree! You can blame me for some of those proposals :-), my thanks to the POSIX team for getting this out the door.
The sed -E option makes it easy to portably use extended regular expressions.
The find -print0, xargs -0, and read -d provide portable ways to securely process lists of files. They were already widely implemented, but now they're officially part of the spec and can be counted on being present in many other places.
- stephenr 2y agoThanks, those will indeed be useful. Looks like `pipefail` is already in Dash https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dash/-/blame/debian/unstable/debian/changelog?ref_type=heads#L24 https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dash/-/blame/debian/unstable...
- EuAndreh 2y agowow, I just realized you're the same dwheeler from the work on diverse double-compilation! Thanks for the improvements on POSIX, I've read many issues and discussions raised by you in the past couple of years. If fact, I think it was one of yoir comments on make(1)'s dynamic dependency graph that reassured me I had a correct grasp on its execution model!
- dwheeler 2y agoThanks so much, that means a lot.
