Bug ID: 218943
Summary: /bin/sh regression? with doubly negated numbers
Product: Base System
Version: 11.0-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
/bin/sh has changed behavior on handling doubly (or more) negated numbers:
sh -c 'var=--123; echo $(($var))'
Under FreeBSD 9 and earlier, it "works":
123
Under 10 & 11:
sh: arithmetic expression: expecting primary: "--123"
I'm trying to find the posix stance on this. Please add a note here if you
know where posix would weigh in on that kind of arithmetic expression.
