in reply to Re^2: empty out C function bodies
in thread empty out C function bodies
- Wrong. There's a very important reason for this idiom: you've forgotten the shell's interpolation (might be Unix specific, but it's nonetheless a DEADLY & EASILY EXPLOITABLE TRAP).
(unless you control each and every tenth of each bit of each filename character and shell word individually; in case you missed it, it's indeed a major pet peeve of mine. Why you ask: consider rm -rf /* ./* and reinstalls & restores all over the place in huge lans. I don't intend to try "overnight" bare-metal recovery on that order of magnitude, and neither should you)
- switches: indeed. But even if we start playing golf, I'm still rather partial to my personal one and only space between -e and the Perl scrap: I greatly fear that you'll win by default :).
