Briefly, I have a case where glob("*.ext") returns more files than I
expect.
To give an example, in a directory of your choice create two files
named "test.any" and "zest.anyother". The important detail is that
the second filename's extension be prefixed by the first filename's
extension.
Then launch Vim in that directory and run the command
:echo glob("*.any")
Both files are returned, not just "test.any".
I see this on Windows running vim 9.0.1240 with normal features built
with Visual C. On the other hand, Vim on my linux box returns only
"test.any", as I would expect, so I don't think this a feature. :)
I've since rebuilt Vim to include patches up to 1494 and still see the
same results on my Windows 10 system. I thought that patches 1400 and
1458 might help but they did not.
More potatoes for the stew.
Create 5 files: test.a, test.ab, test.abc, test.abcd and test.abcde.
Then, using gvim -u NONE -U NONE --noplugin or gvim --clean:
glob("*.a") returns test.a
glob("*.ab") returns test.ab
glob("*.abc") returns test.abc, test.abcd and test.abcde
glob("*.abcd") returns test.abcd
So the problem occurs when the glob pattern has a 3-character extension.
Any comments?
