[Bug libc/5103] New: still one (rather minor) issue with escaping in glob.

[madcoder at debian dot org]

glob("%d\n", "\\/*", 0, 0, &buf) yields GLOB_NOMATCH where it should yield 0.

Though, glob("%d\n", "/\\/*", 0, 0, &buf) works correctly, 
glob("%d\n", "\\/bin/*", 0, 0, &buf) as well.

it seems that the issue is with "\\/" directly followed by globbing chars 
("\\/???" or "\\/??n" fail as well, where both should at least match /bin).

I've not been able to make it fail if the pattern wasn't of this form.

What you describe are no valid uses of glob.  There is one parameter to many. 
Correct the description.

Err of course, the "%d\n" are spurious... sorry.

Doesn't work:
  glob("\\/*", 0, 0, &buf)   /* should match /bin, /usr, ... */
  glob("\\/???", 0, 0, &buf) /* should match /bin, /usr, ... */
  glob("\\/??n", 0, 0, &buf) /* should match /bin */
Works:
  glob("\\/bin/*", 0, 0, &buf)
  glob("/\\/*", 0, 0, &buf)

So I assume the issue is with a pattern begining with "\\/" directly followed 
by a globbing char.

Should be fixed in cvs.
