https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1026763 Bug ID: 1026763 Summary: Locale::Maketext interpolating escaped backslashes improperly Product: Fedora Version: 18 Component: perl-Locale-Maketext Assignee: ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx Reporter: ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: eggled@xxxxxxxxx, perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx, psabata@xxxxxxxxxx External Bug ID: CPAN 120457 +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1025906 +++ Description of problem: When a literal backslash is in an L10N value, it is treated nonuniformly by the Locale::Maketext::_compile method, as patched by RH in Locale::Maketext::Guts (per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=884354). The result depends on unrelated parts of the string. [...] How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a language token, whose value is 'Some data\n' 2. Query the language token through Locale::Maketext ($lh->maketext($tag)) Actual results: 'Some data\\n' Expected results: 'Some data\n' Additional info: The behavior changes in the following cases: 1) If the value contains a tokenized field, behavior depends on whether there is a trailing newline: '[_1]Some data\n' => 'Some data\n' '[_1]Some data\n'."\n" => 'Some data\\n ' 2) If the escaped backslash is in a function call, it behaves as expected: 'Some data[sprintf,\n]' => 'Some data\n' NOTE: All of these cases in standard perl (with Locale::Maketext v 1.13 from CPAN) behave exactly the same as each other, and they all produce just a single '\' before the 'n'. --- Additional comment from Petr Pisar on 2013-11-04 12:16:19 GMT --- The 'Some data\n' is due to back-porting the fix to perl 5.10.1. The parameterized case behaves for me differently and is caused by the changes in the fix. Even latest Locale::Maketext is affected. ---- All Fedoras are affected. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
