No, I'm seeing the same results on Emacs 28. On both Emacs 28 and Emacs
29, rev is apparently not seeing EOF unless echo outputs a newline, so
rev keeps waiting for input.
Ah ha! Thanks for debugging this. The minimal fix then would be to
change the command in em-extpipe-test-2 to either of these:
echo -N "bar" | rev *>temp
*echo "bar" | rev *>temp
One last[1] question: if you ran "echo -n bar | rev" in Cygwin Bash,
does it hang there too? Maybe this is just a Cygwin limitation, or maybe
Eshell is doing something wrong with its built-in pipelines in this
situation.
[Side note: It took me a while to sort this out because (a) Eshell's
echo does not output a newline by default, in contrast to Bash's builtin
echo; (b) in Eshell in Emacs 28, you use '-n' to add a newline, while in
Bash '-n' suppresses the newline; and (c) in Eshell in Emacs 29, you use
'-N' to add a newline.]
This is one of the parts of Eshell that's always bothered me a bit.
Eshell's echo is different enough from other echo implementations that
it's easy to get tripped up. There's some further discussion of this in
bug#12689 as well. I'm hesitant to change Eshell's echo too much, since
it could break user scripts, but it would be nice if we could find a
reasonably-compatible way of making it work more like /bin/echo.
[1] Well, probably last.
