I'm not sure whether or not this is to be expected. $ echo $BASH_VERSION 4.2.42(1)-release $ touch a.log $ compgen -f -X '!*.log' -- \'\' $
$ echo $BASH_VERSION 4.3.0(3)-devel $ touch a.log $ compgen -f -X '!*.log' -- \'\' a.log $ This kind of "quoted" call is used by bash-completion _filedir I didn't see a change notice in NEWS-4.3 about it. I don't know which behavior is the "correct" one. regards
