[PATCH] completion: bash: improve alias loop detection

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It is possible for the name of an alias to end with the name of another
alias, in which case the code will incorrectly detect a loop.

We can fix that by adding an extra space between words.
