techo compares signed char to '\x20'. Any character with code less then
'\x20' is treated as control character. This way characters with MSB
set to 1 are considered control characters too.
Also this patch makes techo display DEL character as ^?.
To reprocuce the bug, enable echo mode using printf '\e[12l',
then type DEL character or any non-ASCII character.
for(; len > 0; buf++, len--) {
char c = *buf;
- if(c < '\x20') { /* control code */
+ if(c < 0x20 || c == 0177) { /* control code */
if(c != '\n' && c != '\r' && c != '\t') {
- c |= '\x40';
+ c ^= '\x40';
tputc("^", 1);
}
tputc(&c, 1);
