Hi!
----
During Illumos (OpenSolaris fork) development someone hit an issue
with integer and floating-point arrays (this happens with
ast-ksh.2013-02-22 and many of the older alphas):
Using a string array produces the correct result...
-- snip --
$ ksh -c 'typeset -a ar ; ar+=( 4 ) ; ar+=( 5 6 ) ; print -v ar'
(
4
5
6
)
-- snip --
... but switching over to integer arrays produces garbage:
-- snip --
$ ksh -c 'integer -a ar ; ar+=( 4 ) ; ar+=( 5 6 ) ; print -v ar'
?@
-- snip --
Same happens for "float -a ar" and "typeset -s -i -a ar".
Interestingly the following works as expected:
-- snip --
$ ksh -c 'compound c ; integer -a c.ar ; c.ar+=( 4 ) ; c.ar+=( 5 6 )
; print -v c'
(
typeset -a -l -i ar=(
4
5
6
)
)
-- snip --

Bye,
Roland
