* LC_NUMERIC radix issue.
According to https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7990989775/xcu/awk.html
The period character is the character recognized in processing awk
programs. Make it so that during output we also print the period
character, since this is what other awk implementations do, and it
makes sense from an interoperability point of view.
* print "T.builtin" in the error message
* Fix backslash continuation line handling.
* Keep track of RS processing so we apply the regex properly only once
per record.
An input/output error indicates a fatal condition, even if it
occurs when closing a file. Awk should not return success on I/O
error, but treat I/O errors as it already treats write errors.
Test case:
$ (trap '' PIPE; awk 'BEGIN { print "hi"; }'; echo "E $?" >&2) | :
awk: i/o error occurred while closing /dev/stdout
source line number 1
E 2
The test case pipes a line into a dummy command that reads no
input, with SIGPIPE ignored so we rely on awk's own I/O checking.
No write error is detected, because the pipe is buffered; the
broken pipe is only detected as an I/O error on closing stdout.
Before this commit, "E 0" was printed (indicating status 0/success)
because an I/O error merely produced a warning. A shell script
was unable to detect the I/O error using the exit status.
