POSIX leaves undefined what happens for something like - - awk '{ print ; exit }' if=42 /etc/passwd - - Mawk diagnoses this. Gawk and BWK awk do not. - -2. String comparison with <, <= etc is supposed to take the local collating - sequence into account. Gawk currently doesn't. This is exacerbated - by the fact that the standard routines all want zero-terminated - strings to work on. - -3. For printf %c, when passing a numeric value, it is converted to - a character and printed. I suspect that it should be converted - to a wide-character and then that wide character's multibyte - encoding should be printed. - - Similarly, when given a string, only the first character of the - string should be printed. Right now it only prints the first byte. - -4. Plain `length' is no longer marked obsolescent; the doc needs updating. - -5. The POSIX.STD file needs updating. |
