The current paragraph is not complete, since a digit is not a special character.
Changing it to:
If the key contains special characters or starts with a digit,
you need to surround it with double quotes like this:
`."foo$"`, or else `.["foo$"]`.
Run `make uninstall` for oniguruma before running the recursive
distclean that will remove oniguruma's Makefile and cause a build error
due to missing make target.
Fetch oniguruma using git submodule instead of a release tarball. It
will fix a build problem, caused by jq's autotools configuration, trying
to run `make distclean` recursively in an empty modules directory. This
will also improve the maintainability of the Dockerfile.
Expressions of the form `path(EXPR) | select(GENERATOR)`, where `EXPR`
is a path expression and `GENERATOR` is a generator conditional
expression (e.g., `has("a"), has("b")`) cause an assertion if the
jq_state VM is torn down too soon. That assert() was only correct if
assuming that the conditional is not a generator.
If the conditional is generator, then what we see is that when
backtracking a SUBEXP_END is executed without a corresponding
SUBEXP_BEGIN because the entire conditional is bracketed with
SUBEXP_BEGIN and SUBEXP_END, and since it's resumed in the middle, in
between the brackets.
Rather than assert that the jq->path_len being restored has some
particular value, we can simply re-compute it from the restored
jq->path.
The behavior of memmem for an empty needle is inconsistent between
implementations of libc.
Our tests imply that we want an empty string needle to be true,
so check for an empty needle before calling memmem.
block_bind_incremental is block_bind_referenced in a loop backwards. For
an 1-inst block, it does the same thing and isn't too much more
expensive, so it's not really useful to keep both.
Also, block_bind_referenced was a better name for the function.
Since 605bfb3, block_drop_unreferenced actually reverses the order of
instructions in the block it's run against. This bug was hidden by the
fact that normally it's run *twice* against the main program, flipping
it back, and that order of function definitionss doesn't really matter
after symbol resolution.
Stop losing \0s from the end of files because we don't know how much
fgets() read into our buffer. If we prefill the buffer with anything
other than zeroes, we can actually tell the difference between the
terminator and unused space in the buffer.
This is possibly more expensive, but at least it should be correct.
Fixes #1504
Defaults the else clause to the identity filter "." if an else clause is
missing.
The following two jq programs are considered equivalent:
```
if .foo then
.foo = "bar"
else
.
end
```
```
if .foo then
.foo = "bar"
end
```
