There's still a problem with this approach:
The use of $ print -v compound_var # does not scale well if
"compound_var" contains lots of data (e.g. 500MB of (nested) variable
tree data) - each time we use $ print -v ... # the whole variable tree
is converted to a string - including the data while we only want the
names of the toplevel compound variable members.
It turns out that there is a much simpler solution using the ${!var*} operator:
-- snip --
$ ksh -c 'compound c=( typeset -a ar=( 4 5 6 [9]=8 ) ; compound cc=(
b=1 ) ) ; printf "%q\n" ${!c.*}'
c.ar
c.cc
c.cc.b
-- snip --
This still prints all sub-variables but at least avoids printing the
values. I'll post a more complete example if I find time later
today...
