Different file opened by openin between 2017 and 2018












2














Short version:



It seems that some trivial behavior of file opening (openin) changed between TeX Live 2017 and 2018. I did not see any notice about that, but why?





Consider the following code:



openin1 read1 to X closein1 showX


Normally openin should be followed by a file, but here that is omitted. TeX/e-TeX/XeTeX/LuaTeX of 2017 showed par, but those of 2018 shows nothing (empty).



Similar difference with e-TeX:



openin1 readline1 toXshowXreadline1 toXshowXreadline1 toXshowXclosein1 bye


e-TeX of 2017 returned only ^^M and stopped, but that of 2018 shows:



> X=macro:
->%%^^M.
<*> openin1 readline1 toXshowX
readline1 toXshowXreadline1 toXsho...

?
> X=macro:
->%% This is file `.tex',^^M.
<*> ...readline1 toXshowXreadline1 toXshowX
readline1 toXshowXclo...

?
> X=macro:
->%% generated with the docstrip utility.^^M.
<*> ...readline1 toXshowXreadline1 toXshowX
closein1 bye
?
No pages of output.


The followings are my guess from these behavior:




  • terminal was read in 2017


  • tools/.tex is being read in 2018


I don't think this is a problem; just for curiosity.

  • I can't reproduce difference with etex with TL2016, 2017 (MacPorts binaries), and TL2018 (self-compiled binaries). They all behave as in your question.
