New submission from Thamme Gowda <tgow...@gmail.com>:
I ran into a line count mismatch bug and I narrowed it down to 9 lines where
the line break handling is causing an issue. Please find the attachment named
line_break_err.txt to reproduce the below.
$ md5sum line_break_err.txt
5dea501b8e299a0ece94d85977728545 line_break_err.txt
# wc says there are 9 lines
$ wc -l line_break_err.txt
9 line_break_err.txt
# if I read from sys.stdin, I get 9 lines
$ python -c 'import sys; print(sum(1 for x in sys.stdin))' < line_break_err.txt
# but... if I use a open() call, i get 18
$ python -c 'import sys; print("Linecount=", sum(1 for x in
open(sys.argv[1])))' line_break_err.txt
Linecount= 18
# changing encoding or error handling has no effect
$ python -c 'import sys; print("Linecount=", sum(1 for x in open(sys.argv[1],
"r", encoding="utf-8", errors="replace")))' line_break_err.txt
Linecount= 18
$ python -c 'import sys; print("Linecount=", sum(1 for x in open(sys.argv[1],
"r", encoding="utf-8", errors="ignore")))' line_break_err.txt
Linecount= 18
# but, not just wc, even awk says there are only 9 lines
$ awk 'END {print "Linecount=", NR}' line_break_err.txt
Linecount= 9
# let's see python 2 using io
# python2 -c 'import sys,io; print("Linecount=", sum(1 for x in
io.open(sys.argv[1], encoding="ascii", errors="ignore")))' line_break_err.txt
('Linecount=', 18)
# But this one which we no longer use somehow gets it right
$ python2 -c 'import sys; print("Linecount=", sum(1 for x in
open(sys.argv[1])))' line_break_err.txt
('Linecount=', 9)
