Bash Version: 5.2
Patch Level: 26
Release Status: release
Description:
"local -g var" incorrectly references a local variable in an
enclosing scope, while "local -g var=val" correctly references and modifies
the global variable.
Repeat-By:
Test script:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo "Bash version: $BASH_VERSION"
b() {
local -g a=2
c
}
c() {
local -g a
a=3
}
y() {
local z=1
x
}
x() {
local -g z=2
w
}
w() {
local -g z
echo "w: z=$z"
z=3
}
b; y
echo "a=$a z=$z"
Expected output:
Bash version: 5.2.26(1)-release
w: z=2
a=3 z=3
Actual output:
Bash version: 5.2.26(1)-release
w: z=1
a=3 z=2
