...sets implicit variable REPLY, even though ASH_BASH_COMPAT is not set. That was introduced in 2010-01-12 with commit 045f4ad92c07434625e168bc8c37aa0e89f6e58e. The comment is still present in the code:
+ /* $IFS splitting. NOT done if we run "read" + * without variable names (bash compat). + * Thus, "read" and "read REPLY" are not the same. + */ Still, this is a bashism and should be tested with IF_ASH_BASH_COMPAT. Dash does not support that: $ read dash: 1: read: arg count and The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 6 does not document that behaviour. Yes, I suspect the "feature" may be already abused. What do you think? Cheers, -- Cristian _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
