Hi!
----
While testing "typeset -m" we found an inconsistency between subshells
which call |fork()| and subshells which do not use |fork()| ...
Example:
-- snip --
typeset -T screamwhendying_t=(
typeset name
function unset
{
printf 'ahhhh: %q\n' "${_.name}"
}
)
function main
{
bool dosubshellfork=$1
print '# main start.'
screamwhendying_t a
a.name="aaa"
integer z=789
(
${dosubshellfork} && ulimit -c 0
typeset -m a=z
)
print '# main done.'
}
set -o nounset
print '#### try with fork'
main true
print '\n#### try without fork'
main false
print '#### done.'
-- snip --
ast-ksh.2013-04-22 prints:
-- snip --
$ ksh returnobj.sh
#### try with fork
# main start.
ahhhh: aaa
# main done.
ahhhh: aaa
#### try without fork
# main start.
# main done.
ahhhh: aaa
#### done.
-- snip --
Note the difference in output when the subshell uses |fork()| and the
2nd call to "main" when the subshell does _not_ use |fork()| ... AFAIK
the output for the subshell which uses |fork()| is the correct one...

Bye,
Roland
