# This test checks whether ksh93 does unneccesaty |libc::getpwnam()|
# calls for "~(modifer)pattern"-style shell patterns
#
# This was reported as CR #6807179 ("ksh93 does unneccesary |libc::getpwnam()| lookups for ~(modifier) pattern patterns"):
# ------------ snip ------------
# ksh93 does unneccesary |libc::getpwnam()| lookups for
# ~(modifer)pattern patterns, e.g. [[ $foo == ~(E)hello.*world ]].
# The problem is that the shell ~(modifer)pattern is an extended
# pattern syntax which allows to specify a "modifer" to change
# the behaviour for "pattern". However the '~' at the beginning
# of this string is causing a tilde expansion (or better: It's
# filling an internal buffer as preparation for tilde expansion
# and this code calls |libc::getpwnam()|) which shouldn't be
# done in this case.
# [1]=For example the "modifer" allows to specifcy "perl",
# "fgrep", "grep", "egrep", "POSIX shell", "korn shell" and
# other types of pattern matching systems (or select stuff
# like archors, case-insensitive matching etc. etc.).
