`shell' directory tracking and `comint-arguments'

[David Hansen]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Hello,

something is wrong with comints argument splitting, when parens are
involved:

from my *shell* buffer:

[13:28] address@hidden [~]
$ cd tmp/
[13:28] address@hidden [~/tmp]
$ # default-directory "~/tmp/"
[13:28] address@hidden [~/tmp]
$ mkdir \(foo\)
[13:28] address@hidden [~/tmp]
$ cd \(foo\)/
[13:28] address@hidden [~/tmp/(foo)]
$ # default-directory "~/tmp/"
[13:29] address@hidden [~/tmp/(foo)]
$ cd ..
[13:29] address@hidden [~/tmp]
$ # default-directory "~/"
[13:29] address@hidden [~/tmp]
$ cd tmp/
bash: cd: tmp/: No such file or directory
[13:29] address@hidden [~/tmp]
$ # default-directory "~/tmp/"
[13:29] address@hidden [~/tmp]
$


All the lines  starting with "$ # default-directory" are completed
with C-u C-x C-e and display the current value of `default-directory'.

So far i think the problem is that the closing paren gets lost in

(comint-arguments "cd \\(foo\\)" 1 1)

which is called in `shell-directory-tracker'.  Well... have fun with
the freaky two line regexps ;p
