Problem:
Edition of Specification (Year): 2004
Defect code : 1. Error
In the ``command substitution'' section, the following text occurs:
"The search for the matching backquote shall be
satisfied by the first backquote found without
a preceding backslash".
This wording would make the following example valid, which conflicts with
current practice.
x=`echo \\` `
On the other hand, the following example is valid in common practice, but does
not agree with the specification above.
x=`echo \\`
Action:
Reword the cited paragraph to be:
"The search for the matching backquote shall be
satisfied by the first non-escaped backquote".
