Hi. I noticed quite a while ago that the max arithmetic variable name resolution depth also affects user-defined arithmetic functions. I removed the check entirely from my ksh without noticing any ill-effects for the last few months (provided you don't screw up with a non-terminating expression).
For reference, Bash sets this at 1024 and zsh to 512 (Mksh allows 1 dereference per variable). Is ksh93's max of ~8 just an arbitrary number or is there some negative consequence of going deeper? -- Dan Douglas _______________________________________________ ast-developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-developers
