Bash Version: 5.0
Patch Level: 18
Release Status: release
Description:
This worked just fine on Bash 4.2:
foo() {
local -a args=("${!1}")
echo "[IN] ${args[@]}"
}
declare -a args=("$@")
echo "Bash ${BASH_VERSION}"
echo "[OUT] ${args[@]}"
foo args[@]
eg.
$ ./test.sh 1 2 3
Bash 4.2.46(2)-release
[OUT] 1 2 3
[IN] 1 2 3
whereas on Bash 5.0 we get:
$ ./test.sh 1 2 3
Bash 5.0.18(1)-release
[OUT] 1 2 3
[IN]
Renaming local variable args (in foo) to something else also gives expected
results.
