>Status: Closed Priority: 3 Submitted By: Ville Skyttä (scop-guest) Assigned to: Guillaume Rousse (guillomovitch-guest) Summary: perl module completion does not work for 2nd level and beyond package items Distribution: None Originally reported in: None Milestone: None Status: None Original bug number: Initial Comment: perl module completion in current git does not work for 2nd level (and beyond) package items, for example "perl -MFile::Sp<TAB>" returns no completions whereas it should return a bunch of File::Spec* ones. I don't quite follow the logic there yet, but there's something wrong with the "return immediately if the base doesn't match" logic in helpers/perl - commenting that "return" out seems to fix it (and naturally makes things slower). Changing the condition to "return if $base && $base !~ /^\Q$word/ && $word !~ /^\Q$base/;" fixes it as well but somehow that feels wrong/ugly to me at the moment and I don't know if it has undesirable side effects. Could you have a look? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Guillaume Rousse (guillomovitch-guest) Date: 2010-11-16 22:07 Message: Unfortunatly, it seems the only other solution to the double comparaison would be to sort strings according to their lengths to identify wich one has to be matched against the other... I didn't benchmarked both solution, but I guess 2 anchored regexp are quicker than two calls to lenght() and a conditional construct. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ville Skyttä (scop-guest) Date: 2010-11-16 21:23 Message: Some test cases added: http://git.debian.org/?p=bash-completion/bash-completion.git;a=commitdiff;h=c4eaba6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=413095&aid=312832&group_id=100114 _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list Bash-completion-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
