  • An empty filename (ed '') is incorrect usage and should show an error
  • GNU ed attempts open() and fails; OpenBSD ed fails with "invalid filename" error and avoids open() (follow OpenBSD)
  • In edEdit(), $filename could still be undefined in default case because $RememberedFilename is undefined when starting ed with empty buffer
  • The code was a bit redundant because the value of $RememberedFilename was saved into itself again
  • Save $RememberedFilename only if filename is taken from $args[0]
