[Bug-ed] Different behavior GNU ed and oed

[Bjoern Wibben]

Hi there,

I found a different behavior between ed and oed.

Have a look at the output below:

oed (https://github.com/ibara/oed <https://github.com/ibara/oed>):

~$ oed
:a
this
is
a
test
tester
.
:g/test/s/^/#/g
:,n
1       this
2       is
3       a
4       #test
5       #tester
:Q


GNU ed 1.14.2 and 1.15:

~$ ged
:a
this
is
a
test
tester
.
:g/test/s/^/#/g
?
:H
infinite substitution loop
:Q


As you can see oed is doing the substitution while GNU ed is not.
GNU ed will do the substitution if you skip the last g.


Best regards,

Bjoern
