Release Status: release
Description:
`declare -p` loses the global flag passed to variable/array on
definition.
I think this behaviour is reasonable, but sometimes I need to
save/restore
Global variables in the function. Unfortunately when I source saved
variables from a function the variables are scoped to that function.
Could you please add the ability to display all the variables as
global
when using '-g' along with '-p' option? No internal checks needed,
just
Put the '-g' flag when displaying each variable definition requested.
Repeat-By:
# define a variable:
declare -g A=33
# display it
declare -p A
declare -- A="33"
# I would like to be able to do this:
declare -gp A
# expected result:
declare -g A="33"
# unfortunately, currently it is the same as `declare -p`
