| Summary | 0004114: comm bug on text files not ending in newline | ||||||||
| Description |
Hello, comm (busybox-1.11.1) has a bug in the way in handles text files that don't end in a newline. It reports no differences, even when the last lines are different. Here is a small test case: $ echo -n abc >A $ echo -n def >B $ ./comm A B $ Here is what comm in GNU CoreUtils 6.12 prints: $ ~/coreutils-6.12/src/comm A B abc def $ Best, Cristian |
