Package: bash Version: 3.1dfsg-8 Severity: normal
I'm not sure how to make a test case out of this because it only happens for one case out of many in a program. The summary is: I have a function 'global_getopt_scan' I use to parse arguments, and return the array GLOBAL_ARGS to the caller. 1) use "declare -ax GLOBAL_ARGS" 2) put stuff in GLOBAL_ARGS 3) use GLOBAL_ARGS after return from global_getopt_scan For the script at http://danielwebb.us/misc/bash_bug2 call $ bash_bug2 --debug --verbose --test -two ads bash_bug2 [14:35]: 2 GLOBAL_ARGS=(--debug --verbose) bash_bug2 [14:35]: 2 NON_GLOBAL_ARGS=(--test2 --test3) bash_bug2 [14:35]: GLOBALS: LOGFILE=/tmp/bash_bug2.root.nerd.log FILELIST= DEBUG=true VERBOSE=true bash_bug2 [14:35]: VERIFY_ONLY_ON_SOURCE=true VERIFY_ONLY_ON_DESTINATION=true bash_bug2 [14:35]: VERIFY_CURRENT_CHECKSUMS=true VERIFY_HISTORIC_CHECKSUMS=true bash_bug2 [14:35]: SHOW_PROGRESS=true FILELIST_DELIMITER=--line-delimited bash_bug2 [14:35]: CROSS_FILESYSTEM_BOUNDARIES=false ./bash_bug2: line 2360: GLOBAL_ARGS[*]: unbound variable This only happens with the call to global_getopt_scan at line 2359, although I use the same technique throughout the program. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-xen-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 4 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii debianutils 2.17 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand bash recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
