I've tested every other shell and they all disagree with posh, except pdksh :) $ bash -c 'echo $((0 ? x=3 : 4)); echo $x' 4 $ ksh93 -c 'echo $((0 ? x=3 : 4)); echo $x' 4 $ In any case, behaving differently depending on a pair of brackets is strange: $ posh -c 'echo $((0 ? x=3 : 4)); echo $x' 4 3 $ posh -c 'echo $((0 ? (x=3) : 4)); echo $x' 4 $ Either it should assign in both cases or neither. As far as POSIX is concerned, it defers to ISO C on this. The semantics in ISO C is quite clear, that is, the assignment should not occur.
