[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55013] Terminate on start ('std::out_of_range')

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #55013 (project octave):

I can confirm Octave 4.0 through the current default branch crash when PATH
contains a left curly brace without a matching right curly brace before the
end of the string or the next colon delimiter.

Minimal example to crash for me:


PATH={/bin octave


Even though this is typically going to be a typo, and portable POSIX path
names should not contain curly braces, it would be nice if Octave didn't crash
on this in the environment.

If I actually do have a directory on my system, say "/tmp/weird{name/bin",
this directory being in PATH will crash Octave.
