Oops. Looks like I was the one who introduced that. Nobody seems to have
complained, so I'm somewhat tempted to leave it. But it would not be too
hard to replace with perl, I think.
Yeah, but would it be worth it? I am actually OK to say that you
need GNU sed if you want to run perf. We already rely on GNU time
to run perf tests, no?
True. This one is a little worse because it's subtle, and somebody might
copy it unknowingly into the regular test suite.
I am happy to leave it, or for you to pick up the patch I sent earlier
(which I did verify produces identical output).
Yeah, I would be very unhappy if somebody copied-and-pasted it, but
somehow I didn't think too many people moved code in that direction
;-)
Will apply the portability fix, then.
Thanks.
