Hi!
----
Another issue with compound variables:
If I initalise a compound variable like this:
-- snip --
typeset filename="/foo/bar"
# codepath 1:
typeset scan=(
typeset -A records=(
[${filename}]=(
typeset filename="$filename"
)
)
)
print -r -- "$scan"
-- snip --
... then I get a "test: line 3: /foo/bar: arithmetic syntax error"
because "[${filename}]=" is interpreted as arithmetric expression.
Seperating the initalisation for "records" into a standalone assignment
fixes the problem:
-- snip --
typeset filename="/foo/bar"
# codepath 2:
typeset scan=(
typeset -A records
)
scan.records=(
[${filename}]=(
typeset filename="$filename"
)
)
print -r -- "$scan"
-- snip --
The output is then (AFAIK correctly):
-- snip --
(
typeset -A records=(
[/foo/bar]=(
filename=/foo/bar
)
)
)
-- snip --
AFAIK the "arithmetic syntax error" for codepath 1 is a bug, right ?

Bye,
Roland
