Btw, I didn't search on savannah since https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Reporting-Bugs.html doesn't mention it. Good idea; I should add it to the manual. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRUc...@case.eduhttp://tiswww.cwru.edu/~chet/

It's possible to do so with an ls that supports -t, but parsing ls is problematic. Thanks for the patch. There are some good things here, usable stuff, but I think I'll look at a more general approach for the next version. If you're taking care of it, that's awesome. Whatever I come up with will appear in the devel branch.

Thank you for considering the change to the incomplete range in the bracket expression. -- Koichi

I haven't been considering the consistency with the treatment of the slashes outside the bracket expression. I think I need to adjust the treatment of the slash in my new engine by introducing e.g. a special flag for . Thank you. -- Koichi
bash 5.2 regression in optimize_connection_fork
Configuration Information [Automatically generated, do not change]:
Machine: x86_64
OS: linux-gnu
Compiler: gcc
Compilation CFLAGS: -g -O2
uname output: Linux kbuild 5.19.0-23-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri

Machine Type: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 5.2
Patch Level: 9
Release Status: release
Description:
OVN makes use of GNU autotest for its testsuite. This in turn is a
heavy user of bash.
For some reason, when the 'ovn-controller incremental processing' test is
executed using bash 5.2 on Debian experimental or Ubuntu Kinetic/Lunar, the
`eval` [0] in the `counter_delta_` function misinterprets successful execution
of commands [1], leading to a false negative for the 'ovn-controller
incremental processing' test [2].
Backporting the bash 5.1 package from Jammy, or compiling bash 5.1 from
upstream sources and rerunning the test makes it succeed.
This does come across as a regression in bash.

Fix:
Applying this patch, reverting a change made to
optimize_connection_fork in bash 5.2, fixes the problem for me:
