[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49323] Readline library does not support vi-mode correctly

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #49323 (project octave):

Report the bug for readline.  Here is a minimal example that allows me to
demonstrate the problem:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <readline/readline.h>

static int
event_hook (void)
{
  return 0;
}

int
main (void)
{
  rl_event_hook = event_hook;

  while (1)
    printf ("==> %s\n", readline (">>> "));

  return 0;
}


On my system, I just need to use "gcc foo.c -lreadline" to compile it.  Then
run the program and enter vi editing mode, either by setting it in an inputrc
file or by using M-C-m to switch the mode.  Then I can get characters to
randomly disappear just by typing something and then using the left arrow key
to move the cursor.  History is not needed to show the problem.  Just vi mode
and a trivial event function.
