Bug 188961 – app-shells/zsh-completion for gcc-config handles colors incorrectly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Elias Pipping (RETIRED) 2007-08-15 08:58:19 UTC]

I have app-shells/zsh-completion-20060618 and gcc-config-1.3.16 installed.

The problem is this:

% gcc-config <press tab>
^[\[32\;01m^[\[0m         i686-apple-darwin8-4.0.1

The first completion is obviously invalid.

As for why this happens:

% grep profile= ~/Gentoo/usr/share/zsh/site-functions/_gcc-config 
    profile=(${(f)"$(_call_program gcc-installed gcc-config --list-profiles)"})
    profile=${${profile/\[([^]]*)\]/}/\*}

so first the leading [...] is stripped and then the trailing asterisk. However, these lines in gcc-config:

% grep -b1 GOOD ~/Gentoo/usr/bin/gcc-config
13353-                  if [[ ${x} == ${CURRENT_NATIVE} ]] ; then
13398:                          x="${x} ${GOOD}*${NORMAL}"
13429-                  elif [[ -e ${GCC_ENV_D}/config-${target} ]] ; then

cause the output of gcc-config to be colorized (the asterisk becomes green), and the escape sequence is not stripped.

So either gcc-config should provide an option --no-color that zsh-completion could use or zsh-completion needs to filter non-whitespace next to the asterisk, too.


PS: I run Gentoo/Alt (prefix) on macosx, but I assume this not a prefix-specific issue.
