Hi!
----
A 3rd-party customer hit an old issue with associative array
initalisation in types when the types are nested.
Example:
The following testcase...
-- snip --
$ ksh -c 'typeset -T y_t=( typeset -A ar=( ["a"]=1 ["z"]=666 ) ) ;
typeset -T f_t=( y_t a ; y_t b ) ; compound c=( f_t f ; y_t y ); print
-v c'
-- snip --
... should AFAIK print...
-- snip --
(
f_t f=(
y_t a=(
typeset -A ar=(
[a]=1
[z]=666
)
)
y_t b=(
typeset -A ar=(
[a]=1
[z]=666
)
)
)
y_t y=(
typeset -A ar=(
[a]=1
[z]=666
)
)
)
-- snip --
... but ast-ksh.2013-05-24 prints this:
-- snip --
(
f_t f=(
y_t a=(
typeset -C -a ar
)
y_t b=(
typeset -C -a ar
)
)
y_t y=(
typeset -A ar=(
[a]=1
[z]=666
)
)
)
-- snip --
The issue here is that c.f.a.ar and c.f.b.ar are printed as indexed
compound array while it should be plain associative string arrays with
pre-set elements "a" and "z" (c.y.ar shows how it should look like)
...

Bye,
Roland
