Hi!
----
The following testcase should merge the compound variable values in
array "b" into the compound variables in array "a":
-- snip --
compound x
compound -a x.a=( [1]=( aa=1 ) [2]=( bb=2 ) [3]=( cc=3 ) )
compound -a x.b=( [1]=( dd=1 ) [2]=( ee=2 ) [3]=( ff=3 ) )
for i in ${!x...@]} ; do
x.a[$i]+=x.b[$i]
done
print -v x.a
-- snip --
... but somehow this does not work and prints (for ast-ksh.2009-05-05
and ast-ksh.2009-06-26):
-- snip --
(
[1]='x.b[1]'
[2]='x.b[2]'
[3]='x.b[3]'
)
-- snip --
(this is a bit suprising since 'x.b[1]' isn't a valid compound variable
value (IMO the shell should print an error if someone tries to do a $
compound x ; x+="hello world" # (e.g. where it's clear that the string
is neither a valid compound variable or valid compound variable value)))
AFAIK the expected output would be:
-- snip --
(
[1]=(
aa=1
dd=1
)
[2]=(
bb=2
ee=2
)
[3]=(
cc=3
ff=3
)
)
-- snip --

Bye,
Roland
