Subject: test: removed dead code for unrecognised binary operators
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ecde78e1df048a4c56e73da7c61424f346c8f5d7;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

test: removed dead code for unrecognised binary operators

the fallback error in binary_operator() was unreachable, since invalid
binary operators are rejected in three_arguments() via binop() which
returns false and prevents entry into binary_operator().

this dead code was unreachable and safe to remove

ref: line 636 where "binary operator expected" is generated.
