| Summary | 0000969: diff output format for -u/-U is too restrictive | ||||
| Description | The diff definition requires to use %1d", <beginning line number> if only one line is affected with -u/-U , but patch also accepts "%1d,1". | ||||
| Desired Action | Permit alternate "%d,1" output. At line 85313 change: Each <range> field shall be of the form: "%1d", <beginning line number> if the range contains exactly one line, and: "%1d,%1d", <beginning line number>, <number of lines> otherwise. If a range is empty, its beginning line number shall be the number of the line just before the range, or 0 if the empty range starts the file. to: Each <range> field shall be of the form: "%1d", <beginning line number> or "%1d,1", <beginning line number> if the range contains exactly one line, and: "%1d,%1d", <beginning line number>, <number of lines> otherwise. If a range is empty, its beginning line number shall be the number of the line just before the range, or 0 if the empty range starts the file. | ||||

Interpretation response ------------------------ The standard does not speak to this issue, and as such no conformance distinction can be made between alternative implementations based on this. This is being referred to the sponsor. Rationale: ------------- The standard only allows one form for specifying single line changes in unified diff output, but existing practice uses two forms. Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation): ------------------------------------------------------- Make the change specified in the Desired Action. |
