sorry if this is an unwelcome question here... I recently reported a bug to
my distribution and was told it was not a bug. I'm wondering about the
standard behavior of comments in bash.
I've always been told that a comment start's with # and that everything
after it is a comment it.
the line
FEATURES="parallel-fetch ccache distlocks"# userfetch userpriv usersandbox
I was told my bug is not a bug because there was no space in between the "#
putting a space does fix the problem but I can't recall that I've ever seen
any documentation saying that mid line comments need a space before the #
(even if this might be good practice)
am I correct that it shouldn't matter? and it's the program interpreting the
file that is incorrect? (this program is probably written in python)
I'm not on the list please cc me.
