If you look at the command below, the printed version differs from the command line version at the last 7.

The problem is that compilerOracle.cpp uses strcpy to copy within a string and that's specifically described as undefined behaviour for strcpy.  Apparently that semantic is somewhat contentious and most strcpy implementations handle the specific case of copying down properly.  But not the mac version.

The fix is to use memmove.

static MethodMatcher::Mode check_mode(char name[], const char*& error_msg) {
  int match = MethodMatcher::Exact;
  while (name[0] == '*') {
    match |= MethodMatcher::Suffix;
    // Copy remaining string plus NUL to the beginning
    memmove(name, name + 1, strlen(name + 1) + 1);
  }
