commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/517ffbee0d5b7b46320726faaa330b61f54e867c Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Wed Apr 20 14:59:29 2016 +0200 patch 7.4.1755 Problem: When using getreg() on a non-existing register a NULL list is returned. (Bjorn Linse) Solution: Allocate an empty list. Add a test.

Tests for complicated + argument to :edit command

STARTTEST
:$-1w! Xfile1
:$w! Xfile2
:edit +1|s/|/PIPE/|w Xfile1| e Xfile2|1 | s/\//SLASH/|w
:w! test.out
:e Xfile1
:w >> test.out
:qa!
ENDTEST

The result should be in Xfile1: "fooPIPEbar", in Xfile2: "fooSLASHbar"
foo|bar
foo/bar
