sorry if this is an unwelcome question here... I recently reported a bug to my distribution and was told it was not a bug. I'm wondering about the standard behavior of comments in bash.
I've always been told that a comment start's with # and that everything after it is a comment it. the line FEATURES="parallel-fetch ccache distlocks"# userfetch userpriv usersandbox I was told my bug is not a bug because there was no space in between the "# putting a space does fix the problem but I can't recall that I've ever seen any documentation saying that mid line comments need a space before the # (even if this might be good practice) am I correct that it shouldn't matter? and it's the program interpreting the file that is incorrect? (this program is probably written in python) I'm not on the list please cc me. -- Caleb Cushing _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
