9945-2-59 _____________________________________________________________________________ Topic: csplit operands Relevant Sections: 5.6.4 Defect Report: ----------------------- I request an interpretation of the behavior of csplit as outlined in ISO/IEC 9945-2:1993 section 5.6.4. The description of the use of '+ or -' as described on lines 608 and 609 breaks historical practice. What was the reason for deviating from historical practice? The description of which line should be used as the current line in performing a pattern match of rexp breaks historical practice. What was the reason for deviating from historical practice? (Alex White) WG15 response for 9945-2:1993 ----------------------------------- The standard states the behavior for '+' and '-', and conforming implementations must conform to this. However, concerns have been raised about this which are being referred to the sponsor. Rationale for Interpretation: ----------------------------- None. _____________________________________________________________________________
