Hi!
----
Printing a user-defined type variable via a plain print ${var} seems
to cause indexed compound variable arrays to loose their "-C"
attribute in ast-ksh.2012-09-11:
-- snip --
$ ksh -c 'typeset -T x_t=( compound -a x ) ; x_t y ; print "${y}"'
(
typeset -a x
)
-- snip --
... the same works OK for associative compound variable arrays:
-- snip --
$ ksh -c 'typeset -T x_t=( compound -A x ) ; x_t y ; print "${y}"'
(
typeset -C -A x
)
-- snip --
The same happens for typeset -p:
-- snip --
$ ksh -c 'typeset -T x_t=( compound -a x ) ; x_t y ; typeset -p y.x"'
typeset -a y.x=''
-- snip --
(note the value of '' - how can this be legal for an array ?)
... the output for associative seems to be correct:
-- snip --
$ ksh -c 'typeset -T x_t=( compound -A x ) ; x_t y ; typeset -p y.x"'
typeset -C -A y.x=()
-- snip --

Bye,
Roland
