Subject: Is string-append broken?
Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2003 18:08:42 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3FF22FAA.FD22BC73@veritas.com> (raw)
Why is this code "wrong"?
> (string-append (c-string (get "name")) ", ")
As an experiment, I did this:
(define c-str (c-string (get "name")))
(shellf "echo 'c-str is set to -->%s<--' >&2" c-str)
(set! c-str (string-append c-str ", "))
(shellf "echo 'c-str is set to -->%s<--' >&2" c-str)
Here is the result:
autogen -T getopt.tpl getpwnam-opts.def
c-str is set to -->"name"<--
c-str is set to -->"name"<--
c-str is set to -->"passwd"<--
c-str is set to -->"passwd"<--
c-str is set to -->"uid"<--
c-str is set to -->"uid"<--
c-str is set to -->"gname"<--
c-str is set to -->"gname"<--
This works:
(sprintf "%s, " (c-string (get "name")))
but should not be any different.....Am I confused or is this a bug?
