[bug-gawk] [PATCH] gawk: Comply with IEEE Std 1003.1

[Samy Mahmoudi]

Hello,

When using the option -v assignment, POSIX awk "shall ensure

that the assignment argument is in the same form as an assignment
operand", in which "the characters following the equal sign shall
be interpreted as ... a STRING token".
   
Moreover, lexical conventions demand that the STRING token "shall
represent a string constant" in which "a <newline> shall not occur".

Best regards,
