Subject: bug#52785: 29.0.50; user-full-name: "Chop off everything after the first comma"
Date: Fri, 24 Dec 2021 14:35:00 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <lzh7axvlsr.fsf@3c22fb11fdab.ant.amazon.com> (raw)

Hi, 

Since at least 1996-12-08 (3415b0e9d2a), user-full-name has had the
following code:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  /* Chop off everything after the first comma. */
  q = strchr (p, ',');
  full = make_string (p, q ? q - p : strlen (p));
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The result is that when full name is specified in the system as
"Steingold, Sam", `user-full-name' returns "Steingold".

Are we really sure that this is still the intended behavior?
If yes, we might want to document it in the doc string and info.

Thank you.
